I think this list is metal guitarists. Gilmour bad ass rendition of Dogs and the solos on Comfortably Numb I don't think are considered metal. :) (even tho he's probably my favorite guitarist)

From the looks of this list, it appears that the typical
Guitar World reader is a 30-something adolescent whose warped mind is stuck in the 1980s.
No Eric Clapton? No Duane Allman - Dickey Betts combination? LOL!

hmmm....there are only a few sensible choices on there.
i really despise "ranking" these guys...there really is no best. everyone has something different to "say"
these guys belong on the list (some are noodlers galore):
duane allman
bb king
pat metheny
jerry garcia
trey anastasio
mark knopfler
wes montgomery
john scofield
To: ErnBatavia
No, I checked twice.....no Metheney.
GW can now be relegated to the "fish wrapper" status.
Ever read Metheney's bio...as far as TEACHING at Berkely (sp) school of music at age 21?

He was picked as one of the 25 honorable mentions. I couldn't believe he wasn't on the top 100 list and the dude from Budgie is!
To: GOPyouth
Eh, Brian May and Alex Lifeson are on it and neither Queen or Rush is "metal" technically.

This is just electric guitarists, right? Otherwise, any list that doesn't include folks like Doc Watson and Tony Rice is inherently flawed.

Hendrix is 12 spots down? No mention of Frank Zappa or Terry Kath either.
This list is bogus.

I'm sorry, but this list looks almost as stupid as the Rolling Stone list. (Tony Iommi #1 ???)
I am afraid that no one will be able to ascertain the Top 100 Guitarists of all time until I compile the list personally.

Aerosmith,Jeff Beck,Alex Lifeson,Budgie,and about 30 others are not metal...Townshead included.
To: My Favorite Headache
garbage heavy-metal poll. Even rocker Steve Vai is down at #54 and Satriani down at 77. Even these guys could cut it with the death metal crowd!

From the looks of this list, it appears that the typical Guitar World reader is a 30-something adolescent whose warped mind is stuck in the 1980s.The reason for this is b/c most guitarists today that get airplay are only trained in playing drop-d bar-chords. Doesn't take too much talent to do that. You throw in a two guitars and break up the chords...one lead and one rhythm (i.e. Malcom and Angus Young, or Viv/Steve Clarke with Collen with Leppard), and you get some pretty impressive stuff. Hell, even Brian May by himself was outstanding.
