[My Favorite Headache]

Have at it! I know a whole bunch didn't make the Top 100 but this is what was voted Top 100 Guitarists of All Time!

[rarestia]

Mark Tremonti (#34) is a MADMAN on the strings. He is by far my rock guitar idol.

Of note, he’s also the lead guitar in Alter Bridge and recently released a self-titled album (Tremonti) that’s worth a listen.

I’m not into heavy rock so can’t judge their talent. Seeing Les, Chet and Django on the list was good enough for me!

[latina4dubya]

hmmmmmm... the list and the order...

[Verbosus]

Looking at that list, well, I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.

Come to think of it - I haven’t purchased Guitar World in a long time either.

[knittnmom]

I’m a bit surprised Roy Clark isn’t on the list.

[brownsfan]

If this list doesn’t have Phil Keaggy, then it’s garbage.

[Hammerhead]

List is full of it.

Jim Heath (aka Rev. Horton Heat) should easily be in the top 5 if not No. 1 of all time.

Also, the list is missing Phil Keaggy.

ridiculous.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Right on with Eddie Van Halen at the top.

No Vito Bratta?

So, according to Guitar Player magazine, #21 Angus Young of AC/DC is better than:

#25 George Harrison
#28 Eric Clapton
#39 Jeff Beck
#40 Keith Richards
#44 CHUCK BERRY for cryin outloud.
#65 Pete Townsend

Riiiiight....

[duckman]

What about Alvin Lee ‘10 Years After’.

[Michael.SF.]

25. George Harrison - The Beatles.... 28. Eric Clapton

My eyes popped out when I saw George at 25. I stopped reading when I saw he was above Eric Clappner.

[soupbone1]

Pat Travers? I guess to each his own.

[discostu]

I like Eddie, good guitar player, but let’s not go crazy, he ain’t even top 20. And he needs to lose points for wanting to be a keyboard player, something at which he sucked.

[kidd]

Eric Clapton...at 28th??
Mark Knopfler....at 96th???

[McGruff]

96. Mark Knopfler - Dire Straits

WTF?

[Snickering Hound]

The late James Honeyman-Scott of The Pretenders was completely overlooked as well.

[old school]

Some truly great guitarists were left out:

Jeff Beck should be much higher IMHO! I like this Rolling Stone list better: 100 Greatest Guitarists

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I don’t see anything in the top 10 I disagree with, but I’m a little surprised to see Dave Mustaine ranked as high as he is. Just about every “second” guitarist who did time in Megadeth was better than Dave, especially Marty Friedman and Chris Poland.
