It's really hard to say, given the inherent biases we all have for the styles we prefer. I doubt there really is a "the" greatest, but you could probably generate a top five that most people would agree on.
That being said, I'd say Clapton, B.B. King, and Andres Segovia should make the list.

The greatest and probably the most influencial guitar player of all time was Chet Atkins. Not only was he a great guitar player, as President of RCA records in Nashville, TN, he built great careers for several top country music stars.
