9 Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin

???? WTF!!

Mr Page should be number 2. Leo Kotke, of course, should be numero uno.

Merle Travis, Doc Watson, and most especially Chet Atkins.

Add Jose Felicano and I think ya may have the real top 5 or so.

As a certified ex-hippie i like Joni Mitchell as much as anyone with an ounce of heart, but she doesn't belong on this list.

Jimmy Page live is the WORST. Terrible! He needs studio magic. I vote Page as the most over rated player on the list.

Nah,that award goes to Mr Clapton(W honourable mention to Jerry Garcia)...Hendrix could be sloppy live too..Listen to the first 2/3 of his Woodstock gig(or isle of Wight).

have to disagree Sir... Clapton is far better than page.
Page's greatness was in the stuidio.. alternate tunings, arrangements, acoustic stuff...
the electric stuff was orignial but easy to emulate.
('cept that pick-drag thing is tough for me)

So many better guitar players... I was glad to Jeff Beck on the list though...

Yeah you know the list has to be whacked when there is no Alvin Lee.

Where's Al Dimeola? He's better than half the people on that list. Curt Cobain and the White Strypes guitarist? Barfasorus Rex!

Al Dimeola's "Elegant Gypsy" is one of my favorites. Was wondering when Dimeola would be mentioned.

Sign me up for the "WTF is Segovia" petition.

Satriani would be perhaps no.1, but currently he isnt on the list at all, serious mistake.

And if that list would be based on the guitar playing skills, 80% of the people on the list would be in somewhere beyond rank 500. You find the best guitar players from flamenco and classical, but then the list would fill with unknown names, so this is more like famous rock guitarist in random order.
