Well if you're looking for skill on a technical level, no one has or probably ever will have a greater knowledge or skill with a guitar than Jason Becker. He wrote things at twelve no one but Paul Gilbert or Rusty Cooley could probably pull off today. Not to mention he could play with added sweeping flair one of the hardest pieces of music created for solo, "Paganini's Fifth Caprice".
Now, if your going to say, "Man **** you, Rusty cooley or Douche McDouche can play way faster" You have to stop and think about one thing. Theres a point in music speed or the speed of sounds in general where the human ear can no longer follow. Rusty Cooley for instance commonly oversteps this boundary and plays like a machine, and its easy to tell he couldnt give a flying **** about the music he writes, just that its fast seems to be enoguh for him.
If you happen to be looking for anything beyond skill as an indicator of who would be classified as, "The One", then that really all comes down to personal taste.
Its as simple as that.
