In my view, most of the list is a joke.....there are, with a few exceptions, NO great players in heavy metal bands....almost all of them know three to four chords...it is silly...it shows that people under the age of thirty are doing the "voting". 90 per cent of the list couldn't repeat one Jimi Hendrix riff....Mark Knoffner, Chet Atkins, Leo Kottke....and DOZENS more are light years ahead of most on the list.....

There are guys player in small clubs from coast to coast better than most of the three chord wonders on this list.

Check out Yngwie Malmsteen sometime. Pompous ass, but boy can he play guitar. Anyone who was trained on Paganini probably knows more than three or four chords.
