From the looks of this list, it appears that the typical Guitar World reader is a 30-something adolescent whose warped mind is stuck in the 1980s.

No Eric Clapton? No Duane Allman - Dickey Betts combination? LOL!

The reason for this is b/c most guitarists today that get airplay are only trained in playing drop-d bar-chords. Doesn't take too much talent to do that. You throw in a two guitars and break up the chords...one lead and one rhythm (i.e. Malcom and Angus Young, or Viv/Steve Clarke with Collen with Leppard), and you get some pretty impressive stuff. Hell, even Brian May by himself was outstanding.

Pretty sad, yes, but don't you think Duane was a bit overrated in the RS poll?
