Well, in terms of technique I'd have to say Blackmore.

But I think (after hearing a lot of his playing over the years), Jimmy Page very well COULD played the things he did, and possibly more (even getting up to that late 70s Yngwie level). Page doesn't play very complicated guitar parts really, and lets face it, he was sloppy. But he was fairly determined and for the style of music he was playing, he played very fast. Now, neither of them (in my opinion at least) compare to players like John McLaughlin, or even Al Dimeola, but Page in particular always had that "Hey that kid could be really goood some day" sound to him.
