Proof that all opinions here are completely subjective - 59 posts and no mention of STEVE HOWE..

Some things can't easily be compared. for example if you are comparing technique, then page, harrison, clapton. and most of those mentioned wont' make the list.

Malmsteen, van halen, de miola, there's the list for technique. Want a list of jazz influenced, blues influenced, studio layered guitar techniques, then we're looking at a different list.

He played guitar too? ;-)

True. Yet I think one consenus here is that "contactmusic.com" has lost major credibility by publishing a list of top guitar solos without SRV.

On target, the scope is much too broad, but for versatility in rock - not blues rock or southern rock which need their own categories- Kath, Kopfler, Harrison, Beck, Santana must be included. Even fingerstyle needs subdivision.
