Perhaps "The best jazz guitarists of all time" is not the right name.

Some of the best? Some of the best famous?

One thing I learned in music, is no matter how good you are, there is always someone better, and always someone not a good as you are.

I met Tom Scott back in the 1980s. We were the house band at a Hyatt Hotel, and Tom was staying there while leading a band for Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé.

He told me, and I paraphrase, "I know there is a sax player, probably playing in a Holiday Inn in a place like Valparaiso Indiana that could put me in his back pocket, but I was in the right place, at the right time, with the right connections, I showed up straight, and I could do the job, so I got the break."

To expand on that, somewhere in a house band there is a guitar player that could put many of those "best" guitarists to shame, but he/she isn't in the right place at the right time and doesn't have the right connections.
