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

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.

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

mcmoyer · 05-02-2009, 02:17 PM

Where's Alvin Lee??

Guitarman-S.T- · 05-02-2009, 02:27 PM

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.

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?!

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

Opusfxd · 05-02-2009, 10:57 PM

Bonnie Raitt? Beats the heck out of Joni Mitchell.

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

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.

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.

SNKBYT · 05-03-2009, 04:37 AM

Kenny Wayne Shepard?

TonySmith · 05-03-2009, 06:21 AM

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

GWN · 05-03-2009, 07:02 AM

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

thebiglebowski · 05-04-2009, 04:16 PM

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...

GWN · 05-04-2009, 06:23 PM

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

kelmac07 · 05-04-2009, 09:13 PM

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

Don Fernando · 05-04-2009, 11:31 PM

where is Vernon Reid?

DPD6030 · 05-05-2009, 05:03 AM
