ok, i won't totally condemn the thread as there are some really good posts with useful information (I had never even heard of Michael Hedges, but thanks to this post, I did enjoy some of his works on Youtube and agree that he is a fine artist.) With that said, i would like to see these lists made more "genre specific".. Who is better, Andres Segovia or Rory Block? How about Doc Watson or Julian Bream? ... To list the best artists is great but to
rate them best to worst is silly. Besides, everyone knows that Roy Clark is the absolute best guitarist of all time!
