Also Krist Novoselic didn't think much of Extremes, he has my vote.

Knopfler
Clapton
Bit torn over the last one as I prefer Perry but Clappers is more proficient.
Feelsbad for Chuck Berry too, he would've won most other battles, but Knopfler is a beast whether he's running riot on the widdly widdlies or bending out the slow notes. None to shabby on an acoustic either so he's going all the way for me. Such tone too.
I've never really seen why people rate Prince as a guitarist. I mean yeah, you like Prince, and he can play a guitar ok but there's nothing particularly distinctive or great about his playing. If somebody else was playing you wouldn't look twice.
I'm more of a ragtime blues than a Delta blues man these days, but fuck I rinsed the Johnson collections in my late 20s, man is in the top few guitarists ever.
