Sure, he's innovate for his whammy bar usage.
Most innovate ever......I don't know. Maybe someone like Eddie Van Halen,Tom Scholz, Chet Atkins or Les Paul might get that title.
I'm not sure he's particularly innovative, but I'm in the camp that loves his playing.

Had he written anything interesting since Hi Ho Silver Lining? The jury's out...
But Jimi left the other 60's guitarist trailing in the dust...…. what he did with a guitar in three years is incredible
Innovator -for sure, but there are probably even better examples.
Greatest ever guitar player - in my opinion, quite possibly - the footage of him at Ronnie Scots around 10 years ago (his peak IMO), is just sensational - articulate, dynamic, expressive, yet visceral. Not many players hit all of those qualities.
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
And a lot of guitarists as well...

I'm with the non-guitarists. And let's face it, I am essentially a non-guitarist.
He's extremely skilled but a large proportion of his music isn't very enjoyable to listen to.
Another vote for Hendrix.
But Jeff Beck has an important place and, of the three, I like his playing/music the most overall. Blow By Blow and Wired were landmark albums for me.
Listen to this with Imogen Heap, the way he provides perfect accompaniment, stays out the way when needed, pushes it when needed. And when he does hit a couple of solos at the end, can you imagine his peers, say Clapton or Page pulling off anything that would fit such a song.
