Lol botching, ur kidding about BB King I hope.
BB King basically only plays solos and very tasteful ones at that. Not to mention that he can sing some beautiful blues too.
I think the whole "guitar god" thing is a bit irrelevant to be polite. Firstly, all these players have a unique voice and express themselves in their own way, and none is the lesser player.
Satriani may be more technical and I certainly love his electric playing a lot, but he wont sound/play like BB King, and BB King will never sound/play like Satriani. Van Halen wont sound/play like Wes Montgomery and Malmsteen wont sound/play like Mark Knopfler and vice versa.
Yet, each of these artists express themselves in their own genres in their own ways and comparing them like athletes is a bit pointless. Its not a flashy guitar olympics
And if you really want to see godly playing and improvising, then you could do worse than checking out Joe Pass, Jim Hall, Tal Farlow, Johnny Smith, Jimmy Bruno or flamenco masters like Paco de Lucia or Pepe Habichueala, to mention a few.
You wont find them on the cover of Guitar Player magazine, put they would make many of the "gods" mentioned here blush.
Just my 2 cents.
