Absolutely! Rory was brilliant. I treasure my old Taste LPs and everything else he did.

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

The guy makes all kind of excuses for his picks...Fogerty..."There had to be a representative for CCR"....Joni Mitchell "Needed a woman, her songwriting influenced many"...I thought this was 50 best guitarists??

Lots of great picks...and lots of lousy ones. :2

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

I agree. ANy list where you put Joni Mitchell above Jack White is one that I wont read again.

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

If a woman was needed, Rory Block or Emily Remler might have been better choices as guitar players...

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

Where's Alvin Lee??

:tu

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

Haha yah tell me about it... Garcia... Sick of all these Fake "Dead heads" that praise the Bears.. but cannot list off ONE song of his lol.

Still wich they would give some love to Michael Romeo, John Goodsall and Of course Zappa... hell he had Vai BEGGING to play with him come on that shows something.

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

All that I can say is that these guys must have been HIGH when they wrote this piece of work up!!! Come on already...Joni Mitchell?! :confused::mad:

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

I agree 100%...do you want the 50 best or do you want the 50 best as long a certain groups are represented? :ss

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

What a great list gives me ideas on songs to download for a CD!

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

What about Billy Gibbons????
Bonnie Raitt? Beats the heck out of Joni Mitchell.

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

Hell yah!

****- Paul Gilbert, Muhammed Suicmez if your in the Technical Death metal stuff :dr

and on that note.. nothing wrong with Bill Steer from Carcass- Ventured out with Firebird to show that guy is very versatile.. check them out. The most Accurate and impressive form of "Classic/Blues Rock" in todays era. :wo

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

Assumption is Rock guitarists? There is a whole number of world class (non rock) guitar players and they would easily rank at the top of the list above.

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

Kenny Wayne Shepard?:confused:

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

The above mentioned Alvin Lee and Roy Buchanan should be at the top of the list :2

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

That's the problem with Top XX lists. They're always wrong.
Plus I didn't see Mark Knopfler on there.

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

i agree with just about all the bashing out here. this is the shittiest list i've ever seen.

and you know what i'm gonna say... NO JACK WHITE?!

also - how about richie blackmore? michael schenker?

where was gilmour again? like 57th? cripes...

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

And nowhere does it say top rock guitarists so one would assume it's open to all genres.
Pat Metheny anyone?

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

Eddie Van Halen at #32...let's be serious!!! For what he did in 1978 and basically reinvented the way guitars are played.

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

where is Vernon Reid?

Re: The Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time
 

Anyone mention Greg Gainey! :D
