    Those lists are BS.

    And it fails without Steve Vai in the top 10.

          Everyone has their own favorite guitar player, just like everyone has an asshole. These lists never go anywhere.

                Technical skill isn't really subjective. You may or may not like the type of music a certain guitarist plays, or their style; but that doesn't really determine their skill level. For instance, I hate Dragonforce, I think their music is shit; but I still recognize their talent. Now Nirvana, on the other hand, I like; but I will admit that Kurt Cobain was a pretty bad guitarist.

                    There is a condition known as "imperforate anus" wherein some people are born with no asshole...

                    lists never go anywhere but they are fun fodder, its always interesting seeing how your opinion ranks with others.

                        Looking that list over...I'd say that they are focusing on ROCK & blues guitarists...and also it appears that they are listing guitarists who aren't just proficient but also created a completely recognizable and highly copied style (like Keith Richards or Pete Townsend did)

                                Yeah, I would imagine that their level of influence has a lot to do with some of them making the list. Which is why I can't understand how Eddie Van Halen made it. That list is pretty good, I would switch a few up.

                                1. Jimi Hendrix
                                2. Eric Clapton
                                3. Jimmy Page
                                4. Keith Richards
                                5. Slash
                                6. Buckethead
                                7. Kirk Hammet
                                8. Synyster Gates(Avenged Sevenfold)
                                9. Ry Cooder
                                10. John Frusciante

                                  The list sucks for sure, Rolling Stones is based mostly on rock and roll. It's hard to insert someone far from that genre.
                                  The title should be, MOST INFLUENTIAL GUITARIST!!

                                  Today's guitarist can play better and outplay anyone on their list. But those on the list are the most influential (they can outperform anyone), even for generations.

                                  Well, just a thought.

                                        Any top10 list with Chuck Berry on it is suspect. He is at best a mediocre strummer.

                                          i guess since it's Rolling Stone magazine it's assumed that it's a list of greatest rock and roll guitarists. if not, the list is a joke, leaving out classical and jazz guitarists.

                                            Obviously Steve Vai must be on the list. Satriani as well. Other great guitarists is Paco de Lucia, Django Reinhardt and Øystein Sunde.

                                            Favorite bassplayer is Les Claypool. He is too awesome!

                                                                This question is impossible to answer - tons of great players and there are no rules/basics to judge upon.
                                                                Anyway your list is full of rock and rock'nroll players - you forgot jazz players a bit and I think there are lots of jazz guitarists technicaly better then any of guys above.
                                                                Pat Methany as a shiny example of the very very best play technique.
                                                                Also there are some players who are pretty underestimated - Martin Barre from Jethro Tull surely 1 of them - never got the respect he deserves I think.

                                                                at least you make me take a guitar and play after really long time

                                                                                As far as rock guitarists, sure Hendrix should be way up there but where is Robert Fripp, Andy Summers, Frank Zappa or Roy Buchanan (who went rock when he signed with Alligator Records shortly before he was suicided)

                                                                                there's Jan Akkerman (Focus), Ronnie Montrose, Brian May etc etc etc

                                                                                  Berry may not have been the best technically but he invented a rock style (along with Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis) which is still being played and riffed on worldwide. So that gives him cred for top 10 ROCK guitarist list.

                                                                                              In terms of influential players, they most certainly are at the top of any such list.

                                                                                              Steve Vai and John Petrucci are technically amazing players, I love them both, but I'd wager Chuck Berry and Keith Richards have inspired more guys to pick up a guitar, and probably were some inspiration for Vai and Petrucci.

                                                                                              I think you'd have to break the list down by "top technically great players" and "top influential players" to be fair. Then break it down by music genre.
