Guys, you're missing the point. Name one guitar player who can capture the imagination of today's music audience.

There are none. Jack White is as close as you'll get - and he's niche.

Twenty years ago, everyone and their mother knew about Jimmy Page. Ted Nugent. Brian Setser. George Thorogood. Stevie Ray Vaughn. Eddie Van Halen. The Fucking Reverend Bill G. Even Slash.

Name me one guitar player who has a hit record (mp3 - whatever) right now.

Today. List a song that is a hit today, that is made famous because of the man playing guitar.

-OR-

Post a band that is huge, who's guitar player gets all the press and glory.

You'll be going back twenty yers.
