Niether does being able to play while loaded on heroin but...JP doesn't belong on that list although Stairway lead, heartbreaker riff and whole lot of love riff rock. That said, five best axe men in order are Hendrix, EVH, Schenker, Randy Rhoads, David Gilmour. Peace

You are equating greatness with difficulty. Some of the most technically difficult guitar music I've heard was also boring in my opinion (not all of it, but a lot). How long it takes to learn a song doesn't have much to do with how good it is, most of the best guitar songs are pretty easy to learn, but writing them is another thing altogether.
