And, so it begins. You voted and so did we, and at the end of a month-long process, we’re ready to start revealing Gibson.com’s Top 50 Guitarists of All Time.
(Excerpt) Read more at gibson.com ...
Rory was great, and humble too. I heard a story that some reporter asked Jimmie Hendrix how it felt to be the worlds greatest guitarist, and Hendrix replied " I don't know, ask Rory Gallagher."
I don’t know Mark Knopfler (yet) but I second your motion.
LOL yeah really !
They forgot Michael Schenker, Steve Hackett and especially Frank Marino.
The only person missing from this crap list is Boxcar Willie.... ;)
Ah, it was Roy Clark. Believe it or not; he and Glen Campbell could play just about anything. They just plain gifted.
I listed Leo Kottke in my second post on this thread. He’s still out there playing and has quite a few you tube videos. I’m sure he has inspired a few million guitarists.
“Guess I owe it all to Pamela Browne”
Prince is one hell of a guitar player, but these greatest guitar player lists are always trainwrecks because a lot of morons will choose whose hip and current, over actual natural talent and skill.
They are as worthless as MSNBC polls.
LOL! Good choice BossLady
David Gilmore #1, Jimmy Hendrix. Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughn...
I think it was Jay Severin (radio political show) who mentioned Glen Campbell’s skills recently.
:)
I’d take him ove Kurt Cobain or Jack White!
Ridiculous list indeed!
Whata bunch of hooey!
No way!
No Carlos Montoya, Al Di Miola, John Mc Glaughlin, Daryl Sturmer????
Bunk list!
Santana can bite me with his Che loving ass!!
That was pretty outrageous. I guess some people believe it takes talent to play that bad.
At least Willie has a certain style...doesn’t he?! LOL!
Good man!
John McLaughlin (Mahavishnu) should be on the list.
“Actually Glen Campbell and that other country star(I just can’t remember his name)are among the best.”
You gotta be talking Roy Clark! That guy can play like 40 different instruments, supposedly.
