I'm not saying they're bad, obviously they're both great. But not greatest ever IMO.
Of the two, I'd say Knopfler out of interest , who would you say is the greatest ever?

Does George Formby count?
Anyway, those in the know seem to think Hendix was the best ever.
Maybe, but how many funny songs about window cleaners did he ever do, eh?
Dear monos, a secret truth.

Of the two, I'd say Knopfler out of interest , who would you say is the greatest ever? It's a difficult question because how do you define best? Best innovator? Could be Page or Hendrix. Best performer? Probably Omar Rodrigo Lopez (Mars Volta/At The Drive in). Technically the best? Perhaps someone like Steve Vai or Ron Thal. Most passion? I'd say Stevie Ray Vaughan. In the end it comes down to personal preference and I'd have to give it to Hendrix. Ask me another day - say, when I've just listened to Since I've Been Loving You - and I'll say Page.

I believe Christ Rea and Dire Straits were combining their efforts at one point. They were going to be called Chris Straits.

Gilmour for this arguement.
But best guitarist: Hendrix, SRV, EVH, Vai, Satriana, Santana, Kossoff, Page, Hammett, Bruce Dickinson(Little Angels). Slash, Michael Schenker, Vernon Reid, Beck, George Harrison, Paul Gilbert, Angus, Blackmore, Tremonti, Mustaine, Iommi, and May.
Some of my personal favourite I'm sure I've missed some. But the best, Hendrix number 1 the rest number 2.

It's always going to be subjective, so what you have to do is find some objective measure, e.g. how much do the 'signature' guitars go for... Eric Clapton: $4,040 - http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/f...electric-guitarMark Knopfler: $1,600 - http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/f...electric-guitarJeff Beck: $3,560 - http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/f...electric-guitarRory Gallagher: $4,080 - http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/fender-custom-shop-rory-gallagher-signature-electric-guitarDave Gilmour: $4,280 - http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/f...electric-guitarWhich at first sight puts Mark at the bottom of the list, where he *obviously* doesn't belong... but the others have 'custom' strats available, where years of damage on their axes is lovingly replicated by cheap labour, whereas he gets only a 'signature' version. Perhaps this metric merely means that Mark looks after his guitars better!

The 2 Jimmys Jimi Hendrix Jimmy Page Robin Trower was pretty nifty, and Slash can play a bit but the 2 Jimmys are/were the best in my humble opinion. The list is endless though; BB King, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Pete Townsend, Steve Howe, Richie Blackmore, Robert Fripp, Angus Young, etc. Dave Gilmour is one of my all time favourites. Mr Knofler is a damn fine guitarist but doesn't float my boat.

Technical ability is nothing if you don't care for the music - like judging a painting by the brushwork. Exactly the point I was going to make. I have a particular taste for the Blues guitarists, their playing seems to be more of the overall "sound" than with Rock guitarists. Not to be confused with me saying I don't like Rock music or guitarists. Some interesting ratings and comments in this list, although they are only opinion.
