wow, whoever wrote this list forgot so many names.
Satriani,

buckethead,

plus their order is kinda screwed up. Tell me if you agree disagree.

Question. Why's Eddie Van Halen #70? It's one thing to have a disagreement about him not being the BEST guitarist of all time, but for him to not even be in the top 50 is...astonishing.

I call shenanigans on this list.

Wow. Jack White even being on the list is ridiculous. If you listen to his "solos" you get a new appreciation for those guitar noobs playing Metallica songs terribly around the schools of America.

You guys do realize that this is 100% opinion? Everyone would have different lists if they each made their own. Rather than bitching about how messed up the rankings are, why don't you make your own list.

I think the biggest confusion here is some people may be reading it as the 100 most SKILLED guitarists. In that sense, this is list is obviously complete garbage, but I think it's more a combination of skill, songwriting ability, and influence. With that as a basis for the list, I can completely see why George Harrison is on the list. Similarly, Joe Satriani, while a phenomenally skilled player, doesn't really do much for me.

That's not to say the list isn't complete BS, just wanted to point out that shredding virtuosos usually get snuffed on these pointless lists RS likes to make because of their criteria.
