What is a great guitarists? Really nobody knows except them. To me you would have to either poll the players and they havent seen or heard them all. We havent. Cant be done because so many are dead. So really its a imo list. I'll bet 50 bucks that at least another 50 thats not on the list and not on this thread are as good as 75 on the list. So as someone said somewhere,these lists are for people to argue over. Its worked,dont ya think? BTW,EVH is way over rated. LMAO
