Plenty to Agree / Disagree on here, in terms of inclusion or ranking. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-guitarists-1234814010/ A few thoughts of the top of my head. Jimi, Because: Jimi A couple of treo's with a bright future ahead of them. Eric, Jeff and Jimmy. Jeff was probably the least conventional. Al, Paco and John. Friday Night in San Francisco anyone? (that's the concert, and album, Steve) G3 - pick a line up - in this case, Steve, Joe and Guthrie some honorable mentions. Prince. He too can shred. Roy Buchanan - The Best Guitarist you never heard of? Adrian Legg - technique in service of harmony and melody. Allan Holdsworth, The Guitarists Guitarist? Discuss.
