He wasn't a great guitar player (Cobain)! He just revolutionized music, that's all. As far as the best? That's a list that includes ppl we've probably never heard of.
Ever hear of Eric Johnson? He makes Jimmy Page look like a piker.
If the intro gets boring, skip to the 3 minute mark. This guy is unreal.
Or Tom Morello from Rage?
The guitar is a toy in his hands, check out his solos compared to Bruce's. This performance had die hard guitar enthusiasts scratching their heads in amazement.
What about Eddie Van Halen?
Page was fine, in my opinion, but when you can bend a guitar to your will, like the examples above, you're on another level. The list goes on and on...

Van Halen, both the band and the guitarist were nothing but a glorified cover band.
While technically proficient, he didn't have his own signature sound. He basically just tried to copy Hendrix.
No one has ever gone beyond what Jimi did. He was a true innovator.
Most of it is subjective but;
Jimi
Santana
Clapton.

Clapton (a/k/a "God," {for a reason} "Slow-hand," and others {can play any genre of music} That sets him apart from all others, along with his longevity and tragic life.)
David Gilmour (Pink Floyd - unspeakable)
Steve Howe (Yes - also from the heavenly realm)
Allen Collins (Lynard Skynard - shatters reality )
Angus Young (that lil' rascal in his knickers)
Stevie Ray Vaughan (believed in a nice hearty breakfast every morning of a glass of scotch with a teaspoon of white substance that was not baking soda)
Joe Walsh (insane)
so many others including but not limited to:
Mark Knopfler
Brian May (Queen)
Peter Frampton
Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac)
George Harrison
*****How about the father of it all, "Robert Johnson,
who couldn't play a lick and kicked out of every southern haunt until he allegedly met a very shady, dubious fellow, a fallen angel and king of the underworld at the crossroads and came back to town playin' blues guitar like nobody before and taken away at 27 years old?)
