Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.

But you can be certain They've been very influential. They missed some others though unfortunately. But as it is more rock orientated I can accept it. I really wonder what such a list would look like in 10 years from now and see who entered the list then You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Seriously, that's a great list, except for the noticeable absence of PG.

I don't know many of the names in that list though, so I should check them out. Maybe they are awesome! Some guitarists in that list are certainly important but not as much for their guitar playing than for the band/group or composing habilities they have.

I agree Gilbert is great but not sure his music is considered classic rock yet I posted the list because I think the names need to be slightly re-adjusted I sent an email to them about it and was looking for input from all of you so I had some ammo when they respond I tried to rack my brain around how this list was compiled most influencial? most hits? most accurate? greatest technique? nothing jives the order in my opinion!!

Like most there are a few names I'd switch around but all in all not bad. I think this is the first time I've actually seen Lindsey Buckinghams name on one of these lists (although I may be wrong and just don't recall) and that impresses me. Lindsey for me is highly underrated and should get more attention. rok You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
