WHAT!!! NO STEVE HOWE!!!

WHAT A CROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Married with Children]

METALLICA

[Married with Children]

Can't forget Motley Crue's Mic Mars

[Rocky]

There’s a really excellent Christian guitarist named Phil Keaggy. I guess his music doesn’t have a wide enough audience to make a list like this, but he is great.

[JoeA]

Django not in the top 10? Ridiculous.

[who knows what evil?]

Blackmore at #49??? No Trower???

Off to 'File 13' with this trash...

[Mr. Silverback]

Stevie Ray Vaughn should have been higher. He should have been in the top five, maybe the top 3.

Hendrix at #1 makes sense.

[death2tyrants]

Enrique Granados

Augustín Barrios Mangoré

Mauro Giuliani

Fernando Sor

Isaac Albeníz <-—This guy should get in the top five even if he doesn’t play the guitar

[Mr. Blonde]

Only 1 of the 3 Kings.

Personal taste, I think Freddie is the worse miss.

Other misses to my mind are, Mark Knopfler that is an amazing version of Sultans of Swing, in particular the last 3 minutes.

Politics aside, Tom Morello belongs I don't think I fully believed it was him doing this solo without studio tricks until I saw him do it live.

[Mr. Mojo]

Next to impossible to list when all genres are included.

Segovia at #47? Ignorant beyond belief. The idiots who compiled the list may as well have drawn the players out of a hat.

[dead]

Lou Reed's on the list. Junior Brown isn't.

Silly list.

[nonliberal]

I call BS on several. First, Cobain should be nowhere near the top 50 all time. The guy was horrible. Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols wasn't much better.

Stevie Ray not in the top five....HOSSA FAIL!

Those not on the list who should be:

Jason Becker

Joe Satriani: (Let's see Keith Richards do THIS!)

[small voice in the wilderness]

Can I just add to this list one name that is never mentioned. But if you've ever seen this song played by this man, it will blow you away;

Lindsay Buckingham: Big Love. Phenomenal

[nonliberal]

And although I am not a fan of country, THIS GUY could smoke 90% of the guitarists on the list.

[dfwgator]

Pat Simmons of the Doobies also should get some mention just for Slat Key Soquel Rag alone:

(Though he loses some points for the mullet in the video ;))

[wastedyears]

It’s the usual list in any “Top — Guitarists.” Every list online, and every list in a magazine I’ve read, the usual “top ten” are included.

[Cincinatus]

No Grady Martin?

The solo guitar part on El Paso by Marty Robbins is his. And sublime.

[PJ-Comix]

Les Paul better be on that list.

[rfp1234]

This list is a lot of

Steve Hackett and Steve Howe (not the ex-Dodgers pitcher) belong on this list, not the Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist, whose name I've already forgotten.

[Mashood]

Steven Howe
Dominic Miller
Todd Rundgren
Alex Lifeson
Dave Stewart
