Your all-time greatest guitarist list

[Forostar]

I made that list based on how much of an influence they have had.

How did you research this so quickly?

I know I missed a bunch but that list was just a general list of guitarists who would be in any top ten list.

I doubt if this can be said so easily. Said yes, but backed up, that takes a bit more time to find out.

 

[Mosh]

fair enough. I will do more research and make a better list.

 

[Forostar]

Quite some lists out there. I am interested in your findings.
