Who are the 25 Greatest Guitarists?
You can debate me all you want in the Guestbook/Blurbs section. I want you to tell me who deserves more recognitions and why? Don't be insulting, but definitely make your case and put some of the lesser (more disputable) players in context of their accomplishments.
After I see enough folks making valid cases for the same guitarists, you might just convince me to reorder my rankings.
Doubt someone on the list? Visit their website and listen to their work!
Yes, I've overlooked a lot of great guitarists - so make your case for their addition!
By the way, I've added a section below of "Guitar Legends In Today's News" if you want to see who's being written about in the past six hours.

- Good list, nice not to see the usual Jimi etc at the top! The only one I would question is Clapton. I can't rate him that highly even with actually trying. I just don't get it. Sorry Eric.

- Am delighted that Joe Pass features high on the list.
Jan Akkerman should have been there, as well.
Jose Feliciano (Entrada de Bilbao - breathtaking stuff)

- Many of the same names over and over again. No surprise that the majority could agree on 25 guitarists but not the order lol. One name I believe is a glaring ommition....Steve Vai

- Derek Trucks #1 baby the fastest shredding in the world won't melt your face as intensly as his slide will. Not to mention the vast musical styles he incorpretes into his playing(Blues, rock, jazz, funk)

- It's good to see Michael Roe get some credit. I'm not a fan of most Christian artists, but he has earned my respect because he is simply a great songwriter.
