Rolling Stone Mag 100 Greatest Guitarists


You probably have seen Rolling Stone Mag has updated their 100 Greatest guitarists list. How can you watch "Jeff Beck Live At Ronnie Scott's" and not choose him at #1. Jeff loved Jimi, but there is no longevity to his credentials as was the case with Duane Allman. If you see Jeff live you cannot take your eyes off his fingers and the concert is over before you realize it. Most guitarists would pick him. And where was Les Paul or Stevie Ray Vaughan?

Hard to pick the best without getting all serious about it.

I vote for Wayne Campbell. "Party on, Garth!"
......wanted to stay of out this one but. Okay let the forestorm begin as we have our personal favorites ....Hendrix was great - but the best no.....innovative yes. I never cared for Jimmie Page's style ....I agree about Duane Allman as that truly was shame as that guy really could play.....you would also need to look as his dtuff when he was a session muscian at Muscle Shoales. When I saw Curt Cobain in there I went really ???....all kidding aside and I don't own any of his stuff but watched him on Clapton's Crossroads....have you ever seen Vince Gill go at it ...that dude can play ....and to answer OP's thred - I have seen jeff Beck - yes, he is in a class of his own
I agree with Audiofeil. Though there are bound to be some worthy contenders, perhaps some that are unfamiliar.
This just out..........
The 100 best "what is the best (enter component of your choice)" list.
