Best Guitar Player of All Time

Who do you think is the best guitar player of all time? I have not given this much thought but the first name that pops in my mind is Eddie Van Halen. If you disagree with me...have you heard the intro to Eruption? He is so good. However I know that there are a lot of bands and very good guitar players out there and I was wondering who you feel is the best. Reply to this message and let me know!
