Hundreds of thousands of guitarists have studied as much guitar as he has and ended up ordinary.

Really? Eric Clapton has been performing since he was a teenager, and has been highly thought of almost all that time. Even if he never practiced in between, his recorded output and live performances over the last forty-some years would add up to more time bent over a six-string than most people would like to contemplate, and that's not even counting the unknowable time he plays for his own pleasure or to teach himself something new. Where are these hundreds of thousands of others? And in what way are they "ordinary"? Citation needed, I say. ;)
