Calling anyone the "best" or "greatest living guitarist" is a futile task. Although he plays in 20 styles in the clip, that actually means very little. He is a very talented guitarist but I would never even consider calling him the "best".

Add to that the fact that he's playing an electric guitar which is exponentially physically easier to play than an acoustic guitar and he doesn't even make it in the top 100.

But he is damn good. There are SO many damn good guitarists out there now that it's almost unbelievable. The amount of great instructional material available means that almost anyone who is willing to work their a*s off for years can become a damn good guitarist. Providing of course they can keep a beat and have a decent ear.

One of the things that always pissed me off was when people would tell me "I wish I was born with the gift to play like that". I always wanted to respond "gift my a*s!" LOL

EDIT: I wouldn't even think of calling ANYONE the best living guitarist.
