That should say "rock" guitarists. Though there are a few not strictly rock in the group.

If you include country and folk a bunch of these would be pushed off a top "50" list by Atkins, Clark, Campbell, Maybelle Carter, Bonnie Raitt, Luther Perkins and others.

I know all of them. The most glaring omission to me was Richard Thompson. He should be in the top 10 at least, especially since he is a master of both acoustic and electric guitar. My favorite guitarist is Jeff Beck, who they listed as #7, and to me he stands with Jimi Hendrix in pushing the boundaries of what an electric guitar can do.

Absolutely!!! You named a few of the real guitarists - though don't forget classical guitar!!! From the lists, I have heard of Willie Nelson and Muddy Waters, though I suppose the rest have been liked by some people (with little musical taste).

Greatest guitarists? Please. Joni Mitchell? Willie Nelson? I don't want to step on anyone's toes nor start some kind of war betwixt UHHer's but I modestly put forth the late Danny Gatton's "Muthaship" if you want to hear a guitarist. I pretty much feel if Beethoven were alive today, and composing music, this is what he would produce.

How about a few classical and flamenco guitarists? Those people certainly know their way around the 6 or 12 strings!
Sharon Isben; ALL the Romeros; Sabicas; Segovia; John Williams; Julian Bream; et al. . .There are soooo very many! And, more than a few of them have played "pop," and jazz and folk. . .

I listened to many of these people on the radio in the 60'2, 70's and 80's, on vinyl and later cds. I hear some of them now at the gym. The top 10 seem good choices. Some i have not heard. Maybe i need to update my play list

Bless you for mentioning Richard who continues to reinvent his solos on his brilliant songs. And Jeff Beck was never given as much credit as he deserved. . . And that is saying a lot considering how highly he is ranked.
