Jeff Beck wasn't no slouch. Throw him in the mix for me.

All these guys accomplishments are so grossly exaggerated it is mind-boggling.
No, Jimi Hendrix isn't overrated because he's dead. He's considered the best guitarist because guitarists all over the world acknowledge him as such. He did things that nobody understood with a guitar, and things which couldn't be replicated (and still haven't). And his blues were out of this world...but like all his music, there was a little twist to them which might put purists off. But it wasn't because he couldn't play blues, it's because the way it was processed through him and his guitar just made it different.
Allman and Stevie were good musicians, maybe even great. But the can't touch Hendrix for innovation, technique and style. And just pure creativity.
When Stevie Ray died in 1990 he'd already been on the scene 15 years or more and was very highly rated. I don't think his death added to that - he'd already established the reputation.
Plus, he'd play circles around Duane Allman any day.
I'll put it this way....
I names my freaking dog 'Yngwie'
Yngwie was a pompous ass, and still pretty much is.... he is famous for his scaling on his supposed heavy metal songs... but his infusion of true classical music into the electric world, coupled with his speed and technique put him as tops on my list as far as talented guitar playing
I still love the MYTH that "some of Jimi's sounds have never been replicated"... utter hogwash....
Have you heard his Concerto for Electric Guitar? Recorded with the Prague Symphony Orchestra or something like that. Quite good.
