You probably have seen Rolling Stone Mag has updated their 100 Greatest guitarists list. How can you watch "Jeff Beck Live At Ronnie Scott's" and not choose him at #1. Jeff loved Jimi, but there is no longevity to his credentials as was the case with Duane Allman. If you see Jeff live you cannot take your eyes off his fingers and the concert is over before you realize it. Most guitarists would pick him. And where was Les Paul or Stevie Ray Vaughan?
11-25-11: Lloydc It's an absurd ranking, but at least they got Jimi at #1 right. Apparently they only meant "elctric guitarists"; "where's Segovia?" comes to mind.
As I recall, their previous list had Kurt Cobain in the top 10, which eliminated all credibility - he could barely play. I personally would put SRV at #3, Beck much lower - but who cares? It's all purely subjective, some odd kind of popularity contest.
