He is the greatest, followed directly by Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Joe Satriani, and Stevie Vai.
I love Hendrix and is work, and he was a brilliant guitarist, but I do really think there have been and are better guitarists than him. Maybe not all with as much passion, but I'm meaning the technical side of things.
As for your other choices I totally agree. Well, I haven't heard Van Halen, but the other three are amazing.
Tommy Iommi. I KNEW I was forgetting someone. Dammit.
