Never heard of half these guys, not convinced about 35% of the remainder.
Too many greats were left out:

John Williams, Segovia (a little overrated in my opinion, but great), Julian Bream and the greatest, Francisco Tárrega

Likewise: Paco Pena, Paco Cepero, Diego del Gastor, Melchor de Marchena, Paco de Lucia, Nino Ricardo and Ramon Montoya, and Sabicas ...

There are probably half a dozen guitarists from S. America Barrios for example, Hawaii, and Portugal deserving mention.

Among the rockers, I like the guys who play through glass (tubes)— J. Winter, Albert King, Hendrix and Stevey Ray to name a few- it’s the biting edgy attack and sagging decay I like.

Then there are the electronics guys: Queens guitarists got some incredible tones and novel riffs .

Unsung hero: Niels Lofgrin.

Glaring omissions: Leo Kotke, John Renbourn and Richard Thompson.

They should have consulted me about this, or anything else; I can’t understand why nobody does. I’m sitting on an amazing stock of opinions and I’m letting them go for cheap. ;-)

Thanks for a pleasant diversion.

I'll keep that in mind.
