I love playing classical guitar, but I still suck at it.
Some guitar favourites (I'd love to play like any of them) :

Not a fan of classical myself but I can appreciate the skill and musicianship. I've only recently gotten an acoustic having been playing eleccy for years.
This guy is one of the most amazing bassists I've ever seen - Viktor Wooten

Now, by now you should know i speak my mind so dont be offended by what i am about to say.
He is not "cleverer", he is a french knobhead with a load of bike horns sewn on his jammies, he is amusing and that is about it
So why is two blokes playing a piece of music on one guitar that can be played by one person impressive? I grant you it sounds good but Michel Lauzière can play it on a romper suit with horns, now that's impressive

If by "guitarist" you mean owns an instrument, can read tab and bash out a Metallica riff or two, then +1
If you mean actually play it, then just you.
Don't assume anything mate ;)
I've been playing for a good few years but I'm not an obsessive or anything, I don't know any theory, play mostly stuff which would be obscure to the masses and find that quite often the simpler stuff is the most enjoyable to play. I probably have a few party pieces (don't we all) and have forgotten more stuff than I can remember how to play! But at the end of the day I just like to jam away.
Might be good to have a jam sometime on some metallica stuff, plenty of their toons need two guitars. Could even let you have a pop at the seven string

Great link Timbo!
As soon I hear that piece of music I am transported back some 38 odd years (yeah they have been odd) and remember coming home from school to watch Bob Monkhouse present 'Silent Movies'. You know, the Buster Keaton, Keystone Cops etc stuff. They always seemed to use this music. Fantastic trip back down memeory lane and by heck were those two guys good!!!!
