Well, It really drives me mad because alone the idea of ranking guitarist is just absolutely senseless. So let alone that some guitarist are rated top (where you think What is Kurt doing up here) and some low (What is Eddie doing down there?) some great guitarists are not even listed! So what is the criterion for that list ??Do you also think that it is just absolute nonsense to create such a list ? Like to read your comments...

Jack White is up on #17, while Mark Knopller is all the way down on #27? Since when is Jack White a better guitarist then him? Slash and Eric Johnson isn't even on the list...

There are 6 billion people on the planet, and with that comes 6 billion diffrent tastes of music.

Then again this list is rather pathetic, Iommi #86....... Thats just sad. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
