Top 100 Guitarists Of All Time #1 - 25
From Jimi Hendrix to Jack White, Kurt Cobain to Scotty Moore. (Almost) all of your favorite guitarists are here in one lens.
In August of 2003, Rolling Stone published their list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Players of All Time. This is a series of SquidVids lenses bringing together videos on all of the guitarists on the list. I'll include the top rated video from YouTube.com that I can find.
And now you can let everyone know who your favorite guitarist is; even if they're not on the list. Scroll down to enter your favorite.
This is Volume One in a series of lenses that will cover all of the 100 greatest guitar players on the list. See Volume 2

Really fantastic lens. Jimi Hendrix is definitely the greatest guitar player of all time, but there are so many other great ones. Stevie Ray Vaughn is another of my favorites, and then of course there's Eric Calpton, and B.B. King,...

Slash as the best ever? Your joking, right? Probably never heard of Andres Sagovia, Wes Mongomerry, Chet Atkins, Django Reinhardt, Don Ross, Preston Reed, Blind Blake, Leo Koettke, Stanley Jordan, Paco Delucia,Tony Rice and I could go on and on. Any of these guitarists would destroy, I mean DESTROY! ! ! ! anyone on that list.

Wow, some of this surprises me, some doesn't. By the way, someone voted CC Deville to the top of the greatest guitar players list... let's do something about that! Keith Richards, George Harrison, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Kurt Cobain, not surprised. Jack White...kinda surprised! Unique, yes...in the top 25...maybe not so much. Great work with this interesting compilation!

where is JERRY CANTRELL of alice in chains? clearly a talented/creative guitar player who is better than half of these guitar players(not my opinion either). this list is a disgrace.

All the players listed right here are also my choices. The late Shawn Lane was also a great guitarist and I really love his works with the Vinayakram Bros. and Jonas Hellborg (one of the greatest bass players in the world!) In my African American checks , I put the late Jimi H's picture! He's still the best of all! If not for him, Satch or Stevie or Kirk or Carlos or even the late Stevie Ray would have not exist!
