Like Charlie Watts, Neil is one of those players whose decades of playing constantly did absolutely nothing to improve his skills. He is as bad now as when he was when he was screeching out single note guitar solos with Buffalo Springfield. If every other guitar player in the world died tomorrow he still wouldn't make the top 100 list.
Neil Young - Guitarist
We all know Neil for his outstanding songwriting skills and some may even recognize his talents with a guitar but is he underrated? in 2015 Rolling Stone ranked him as number 17 of 100 greatest guitarists of all time. Can anyone pull more raw emotion out of a guitar than Neil?
