Best Guitarists Ever - Top Ten List

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Rory Gallagher. Ireland.

Edit: Oh, not come from, but where they come in the shitty poll. :tutsloudly:

 

[brakespear]

That seems a pretty crappy list tbh.

 

[Norman Potting]

Why do I get the mental picture of the compiler of this top ten sitting alone in his room, wearing a "Hell was Full so I came back" T-shirt, covered in acne, wearing glasses and hearing "Kevin, your tea's ready..." shouted from down stairs. Are we sure the names aren't made up, Buckethead??

No room for Wilko Johnson, Steve Cropper or Richard Thompson on it unfortunately.

spot on - this list is pitiful

 

[Marshal Josip Tito]

Bit of a strange list, given there are some VERY notable absentees. But I am pleased to see Prince up there, who is often overlooked in such polls, despite being IMMEASURABLY AWESOME

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Buckethead is #9? I'm not reading any more.

yep, and John Frusciante - utterly tasteful, never shows off, just really, fuckin, good :guitar:

 

[BadFish]

John Squire, Johnny Marr

That list is so metal and hard rock centric it is untrue. Most of it is just fret wanking anyway. If you want melody, innovation and style you must look away from rock.

 

[public school boy]

Walter Trout, Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani, Eric Clapton, kenny Wayne Shepherd, Bill Nelson, Peter Frampton and Jeff Healey would be on my list.

One more for luck.. Steve Hillage

 

[Norman Potting]

In fairness the list does go on for quite a long way - I lost interest when I saw Wilko Johnson was only at 299 and that Richard Thompson and Steve Cropper had yet to appear.

 

[The Offspring]

spot on - this list is pitiful

Most certainly THIS!!!
Satriani, Vai, Eric Johnson, John Petrucci, Darrell Abbott, Randy Rhoades, Eddie Van Halen, Malmsteen, must all be deserving of place if that list is anything to go by.
Buckhead- Umm, never known him to play a 12 string, or Jazz, or play in a rock orchestra and also Shred, so might as well drop Alex Skolnick in instead, who has done all these.

 

[bobby smith]

MICK RONSON No 1 on my list

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Alex Lifeson down at 49..You aving a laff.

 

[blue'n'white]

Duane Allman at 47 - oh do behave. The man was head and shoulders above all the top 10 on that list
I couldn't be arsed to read it all but was the great Peter Green anywhere ?
As someone above said it's been done by some 14 year old with a collection consisting only of heavy metal so you really can pay it no mind - I think I'd rather go by one of the Rolling Stone lists myself where they do try to cover more than bloody metal

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Where is Michael Karoli (The late and great) in the list?

Eddie Van Halen in the top 10 ? Yeah right.

Just a rubbish list. Hendrix yes, the rest no.

TNBA

TTF

 

[Captain Sensible]

Any top 10 that doesn't include David Gilmour is utter wank!

 

[Buzzer]

72nd apparently (Pete Townshend)

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

didn't see George formby on there
