UPDATE: I've made my list: https://youtu.be/d2uJm2wQd9c?si=f6HFkIVKfNfHIRoy Well I gotta know... do you agree with Rolling Stone's list?
-
Eric Johnson at 205, Tom Morello at 18, no Guthrie. Rolling Stone is delirious.
-
The lack of Guthrie is concerning
-
No Buckethead, no Allan Holdsworth, no Paul Gilbert, no Tommy Emmanuel, no Paco de Lucia... Rolling Stone never ceases to fail. It's been decades since they went downhill and decided to remain at the bottom.
-
Steve Morse, Neal Schon, Robin Trower, John Petrucci, Skunk Baxter, Charo, Roy Clark, Yngwei, Glenn Campbell, Dave Mustaine, Gary Moore… missing 1 is a crime.. missing all of them… good grief
-
Not putting Gary Moore on this list is criminal. Deserved to be at least in the Top 50
-
SRV, Knopfler, Eric Johnson, Clapton, and Gilmour don't break 20. That's all that needs to be said about this list.
-
Slash got me into playing guitar. His sound is so iconic that you can pick out his solo in a song without knowing he was part of the song. One of the most iconic of all time.
-
Yngwie, Michael Schenker, Gary Moore, George Lynch, John Norum, Dave Mustaine not on the list? This is crazy
-
Where is Marty Friedman, Gary Moore, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie, Jason Becker, Guthrie Govan, Allan Holdsworth and Vinnie Moore? All of those players have had a huge influence on the way a lot of people play guitar.
-
Eric Johnson at 205 is ridiculous. Easily top 50 no question.
-
I’m not even the biggest Megadeth fan but Marty Friedman, Dave Mustaine, and maybe even Chris Poland should all be on this list
-
I think you could open a whole top 100 list just filled with „great guitarists Rolling Stone missed“ (E.g. Guthrie Govan, John Petrucci, Yngwie Malmsteen, Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucia, Luiz Bonfa, John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Mark Lettieri, Cory Wong… and soooo on)
-
It's crazy that nobody here mentions a word about Paul Gilbert. He's absolutely underrated.
-
Moving knopfler from top 30 to 96 made me so sad. Hearing him on alchemy live one random day in high school changed my life. He made me love rock and roll and I’m sure many people feel the same. There’s no one else who could do it like him. His sound is instantly recognizable
-
I feel you on Chuck Berry. They had a show on MTV back in the day called “The List” and they did a top ten guitarist episode. I boycotted MTV for 3 years because they didn’t even mention Chuck Berry. I don’t think he is top ten either but I would put him in the top 20 for influence. Also he did write the most iconic rock and roll intro of the 20th century.
-
I just found your channel and enjoyed this video. Larger point your album is fantastic. Zero Three Five is my favorite so far. I have listened to it a few times now. Good stuff.
-
Man, I would have really loved to see Gary Moore in the top 10, that guy was absolutely incredible.
-
I haven't picked up a Rolling Stone's magazine since I was a teen in the 80's. This list further confirms that I haven't missed much.
-
I love how you play clips of some of them playing and then just stare at the camera, speechless, then moving forward. Nuff said.
