Keith Richards at #3 and George Harrison at #11? Put the bong down, boys. Get out of that air tight vacuum, and smell the riffs.

Stevie Ray.
Without a doubt.

Hendrix was good, but not Number 1. Personally, I think he is a bit overhyped.

Surely I can’t be the only person that sees guitar playing as far overrated. I can’t stand a song played by Jimi Hendrix, and his National Anthem version is worse that a chorus of squeaky chairs to me.

Yup. Stevie could do Jimi with every bit as much soul, but way more accuracy.

only because he died way before his time (as did Bruce Lee, but I think God had something to do with that).

Keith Richards at #3>>>>>>
lol he is awful though he had a lot of spark in his younger days before he got zoned out on heroin and other drugs. Mick Taylor should be on this list. Steve Winwood is a good guitarist too as in “Mr Fantasy”

How did Django Reinhardt do? I guess if it isn’t rock ‘n roll and its not amped, I doesn’t count.

I haven’t read the criteria by which these picks(no pun intended) were decided on.
I can only assume that the judges, which include many guitarists, decided on the choices based on, among other things, their personal preference, and the influence the guitarist had on their own career and playing.
To: fhayek
I do not think that Rolling Stone is aware that Jazz exists.

I’ve tried to read the entire list, but RS wants me to subscribe. They can “Dream On”.
To: This Just In
I salute this choice, with my left hand, of course!

Stevie Ray.The first name that came to my mind.
I'd give Jimi best left-handed-plays-backward though.

Well, if RS did that would disqualify most of the guitarists on their list. :^)
