More fluff. So many better guitarists than the ones listed. They should have specified they meant pop guitarists. But what musicians in the classical/Jazz world take RS rankings seriously? Some seniors may remember the quip, "it was never the same after the staples." Flipped through Rolling Stone at Walmart and barely recognized it. Beau coup advertising and insert cards. Yeah a writers story may win a reporting honor occasionally, but if advertiser marketing suggests readers buy a lot more Red Bull and Ketel One that's what keeps it on the rack.
Rolling Stone Mag 100 Greatest Guitarists
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?
