DEREK TRUCKS AS #81!!!!!!

TREY AS #73!!!!!

SANTANA AS #15!!!! BECK HIGHER THAN ALL THOSE AT #14!!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

But I will say this......every single one of thsoe top 7 deserve to be there. Ok, you can make an arguement that Page should be there...maybe Santana or Garcia.......but that top 7 is just unreal.

I can only imagine what a jam session between those guys would be like.......ha, kinda like the ending to Layla(w/ Clapton and Duane).......x10000000

I had to edit and put one more thing in there............it goes back to that David Gilmour....Dude..the fucking musical genious behind Pink Floyd...PINK FLOYD!!!!! POSSIBLY, AND ARGUABLY, THE GREATEST, MOST UNIQUE, BAND IN HISTORY OF MUSIC......THEIR MAIN MUSICIAN...THE MUSICAL GENIOUS DRIVING THEM.....AT #82!!!! I know what you'll all say....there is no doubt that Floyd wouldn't have been Floyd w/o Roger Waters...but he was the LYRICAL genious behind them....Floyd wouldn't have been the SAME Floyd w/o Gilmour in there...he was the MUSIC MAN. He often played bass on their albums which was Water's instrument live.

Edit #2 will have me ranting about Derek Trucks. HAS RS EVEN EVER SEEN HIM PLAY?!!?!!?!?! I hardly believe anyone that puts fucking Britney Spears on their cover....would be going out to listen to Derek Trucks play guitar. If they did, it was probably from an Allman Brother concert where he wouldn't have stood out and they didn't know him and they kept on saying, where is that unreal, amazing, mesmorizing, stupendous, eclectic slide guitar coming from1?!?!?1?!?!?! Then they just go assume it was a recording of a dead Duane Allman and they go on smoking their crack as they write about some guy they heard abotu once to put him as #81 on all time greatest guitarists even though he is better than about 60 of everyone else

I mean COME ON....sorry, shit like that PISSES ME OFF
David Gilmour at #82 makes me want to kill people.

Well said

Santana should be higher, and i very much respect the placement of Duane Allman, but come on, Stevie Ray Vaughan is easily top three, i hesitate to put him in front of Hendrix because much of SRV's material was influenced by Jimi, but IMO noone has ever made playing the guitar so natural. His guitar playing was not so much playing as it was flowing. If you have ever seen Texas Flood from the 1983 austin city limits dvd you know what i am talking about.

I love SRV but i think his placement was okay, it don't really know too much about chuck Berry, but stevie, in my opinion was not better than clapton, which therefore means he was not better than Jimi. but thats only my opinion, and I completely agree with you on duane allman

Santana's been playing the same fucking solo for 30 years, and shouldn't even be on the list.

where is stevie vai, what the fuck were these people thinking when they wrote this.... i can't believe curt cobain is on this list either, i am sorry but any guy who knows his way around a guitar can play every nirvana song, i don't know why they'd want to, but it'd be easy enough

I can't view Hendrix as being number 1. He is talented and awesome in his own way and i do like him. But he is not number 1. We can say that SRVaughn is better than Hendrix, and we can also say that Dave Matthews should be top 10 if we're talking about song writing. Why is BBKing up there, all his solos sound the same lol.
