Top 100 Guitar Players of All Time.
I found this list on a site called DigitalDreamdoor. What do you think? There were quite a few names that raised my eyebrow...like Nuno Bettencourt at #33? I was severly disappointed in where Dimebag came in, there's no way that Nuno fucking Bettencourt is better than him. I might have to go check out Buckethead, he's playing out here in LA soon. (He comes in at #30).

I look at Digital Dream Door every now and then, though I usually have big problems with their lists. This is one of their better ones though.

In my humble opinion, Frusciante should be a hell of a lot higher.

The more I look at this the more I disagree with it. It is pretty damn hard to choose the top 100.

Santana at 28? Fuck you. That guy is a genius.
Walsh is severely underrated at 97, but it's nice to see him on there at least. |

I gotta admit, that's probably the best "top 100 guitarists" lists I've ever seen.
I remember seeing one a few years back where the guitarists from Korn were higher than John Petrucci! ![]() |

Well, eve this list seems to prioritise based upon popularity.
Also, I just noticed no Paul McCartney. WTF. Are they retarded? |

Townshend probably should be lower, BTW.
from a composition standpoint, the guy's top notch. From the standpoint of actually playing guitar, there are probably two dozen more people I'd put before him. No nkock on Pete...Just the truth. |

I want to say David Gilmour should be higher but I don't think there's any cracking that top 9. I'd switch him and Blackmore, on second thought.

They just took the Rolling Stone top 100 and sprinkled in a few names that people bitched about not being there. Marty Friedman is too low.
Why do so many people think that Jimi Hendrix is the best guitarist ever? He was a terrible guitarist. I don't care how much "feeling" he played with, he went out of key on a regular basis during his "amazing" guitar solos. |

Zack Wylde would be in the top 10 list for me.
Tom Morello in the top 20 for sure. |
