I've picked 69 (a pretty number, isn't it?) most famous lead guitarists, appearing on this site as Prog, Proto-Prog or Prog Related artists. They're alphabetically ordered; but I've used only 10 initial letters. Two highest rated guitarists of every poll will advance to the final.

I'm also preparing a separate round with remaining initial letters of guitarists plus your mostly suggested ones, to make a really fair contest.
 
Deadline for this round: 23th February

This is harder than "A".

Beck has been around for longer than anyone and is a legend. But is he truely an out and out Prog guitarist?

Also Gandalf maybe you should have stated from the beginning....."what type of guitarist". I assume you mean "lead". Then again I maybe assuming incorrectly.

Idiot me, you have stated "lead".

I might start up the best Rhythm guitaiist poll shortly. Can you have rhythm guitarists in a Prog band? That's for another forum topic somewhere  else!

Blackmore quite easily. 
He gave her his town house and his racing horses. Each meal she ate was a dozen courses. She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes. She sat around and counted them all a million times.

OK, watch this all the way to the end and then tell me Dave Bainbridge doesn't deserve to win this poll.
