                      I don't think the jazz guys are getting their due in this list. Rock and blues people seem to get a better grade just because they play rock and blues. Where is Lee Ritenour? Joe Pass? Django Reinhardt? Pat Martino? Kenny Burrell? Charlie Byrd? John McLaughlin? Martin Taylor? Earl Klugh? These guys should be somewhere on the list and more. Just because a guy does rock doesn't mean he's better then someone who does jazz!

                          I interviewed him at the AVN and XBIZ Shows on the red carpet.

                          He got upset because I asked him if he got laid before he was a rock star.

                          He went off saying how he could laid no matter what because he was so "confident" and that chicks dug his confidence and attitude.

                          To prove to me that he was cool, he started making out with Nikki Hunter.

                          BTW - this is all on video

                            Having Robert Johnson at #51 is just fucked up and shows how backwards this list is. And where the hell is Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman or even Blondie Chaplin.

                                    Jerry Garcia #87 and Trey Anastasio didn't even make the list?
                                    I was surprised to see Phil Keaggy on the list. I didn't know he was that well knwon and appreciated.

                                                "greatest" is apparently a combination of ability, influence and popularity.

                                                Someone like Holdsworth is so original and plays such difficult passages it would be very difficult for him to have more "influence".

                                                I'm with Hot Hard Cash that the jazz guys are underrepresented especially for ability and technique but of course jazz is less popular even though many of the jazz players were hugely influential (example: Dimeola influenced Yngwie who started a whole brand of guitar playing though it didn't last long).

                                                          these lists are actually usually more about "fame' than talent.

                                                          There are 100 guitarists out there better than many of the guys in that list.

                                                          Or my favorite guitarist Steve Cropper

                                                          Ace Frehley cannot play guitar better than Steve

Rock and blues people seem to get a better grade just because they play rock and blues. Where is Lee Ritenour? Joe Pass? Django Reinhardt? Pat Martino? Kenny Burrell? Charlie Byrd? John McLaughlin? Martin Taylor? Earl Klugh? These guys should be somewhere on the list and more. Just because a guy does rock doesn't mean he's better then someone who does jazz!
