Neil Young - Guitarist

Listening to some Cat Stevens. Jim Croche next. Bkth very good. Didn't see the list but Tommy Emmanuelle has to be on there. He is rediculously good. Saw him a couple months ago and was simply amazed. He plays rhythm and lead at the same time. How is that even possible? 

Neil Young's guitar ability is severely hampered by his political views.
We saw CSN&Y at Bethel Woods some years back and the group was still quite good and in tune with each other. Sadly toward the end Neil Young began with his political tirade and turned off a very large segment of the audience that got up and left.
I have not bought a copy of Rolling Stone in years but am quite surprised RS didn't list him much higher given their political views are well matched. 

IMO, one's stance on any subject has nothing to do with how well they are able to perform at their chosen profession.

Overrated guitar player. Listen to Tommy Emmanuel, underrated guitar player.

 The notion that he’s on a list of top guitar players, kind of took me aback.

I do feel,  however one links the notion of a song in one's head and then somehow interprets that into an emotional connection to others ..is Neil's unique gift.
