Not really sure what 'best' means in this context...?
Edit: Hadn't read the rest of the posts before I chucked this up!
FWIW, I usually ask who the best painter is. Or sculptor. Who's the best scientist?
So many variables, so many points of view.... The only people who seem to ask the question are guitarists, and IMHO it's a search for independent validation of the asker's point of view.
One thing is for sure though. I don't want to become so educated in music that I lose my appreciation and boredom sets in. I would rather be mediocre in technique and a great musician than a greatly technical player whose listeners have to research my playing to appreciate it. There is beauty in simplicity.
