no way is there 1 single best. there can only be favorites. music is subjective. its not like car racing that has an objective standard..you either win the most or you dont etc..

my favs would be:

David Gilmour
Syd Barrett
Grant Green
Kenny Burrell
Jerry Garcia
Tony Iommi
Bob Marley
Muddy Waters
Doc Watson
Bo Diddley
Robby Krieger
John Lee Hooker
Jimi Hendrix
Dick Dale
Eddie Cochran
George Harrison
Mike Campbell
Jimmy Page
Paul Weller
Duane Allman
Mississippi John Hurt

I suppose this list could go on for a long time
