It's a question that popped into my head earlier today when I was listening to the stone roses.

John Squire is some guitarist I thought. So is Johnny Marr. And John Frusciante. And Jonny Greenwood. Four great guitarists all called John or a derivative thereof.

Is there another name that has better guitarists attached to it? Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page. but that's only two.

If anyone can answer this tricky question, NSC can. So come on NSC, is there another name with more great guitarists?

Or the exact 'opposite' of this thread Yngwie who insists you also use his middle initial J to avoid confusion with all the other Yngwie Malmsteen's out there! :)
