The part where Edge turns off the pedals reminds me of that Bill Bailey U2 routine

The BBC made a 3 part series recently called "The Story of the Guitar" which was similar to this.
Great documentary if you ever get a chance to watch it (think I still have it on my HD)

These three lads are certainly significant but they could hardly be considered virtuoso guitarists.

He's good but I don't consider him a virtuoso. Listen to him improvise and time and again he seems to run into a dead end. Don't get me wrong, Page is a great guitarist but I think his real genius was his ability in the studio.
When I think of an electric guitar virtuoso I'm thinking of someone who has complete control of the guitar, is endlessly inventive, and just never seems to run out of road.
The obvious examples for me would be Hendrix and Zappa. The many live recordings I've listen to of these two players still astound me despite repeated listening over many years. I honestly couldn't say the same about the various live recordings I've listened to of Page.
