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 Semi-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: 10th March

I can never think of any "other" guitarist to start with the letter. Where's a best bassist poll?! (I'm too lazy to do one)

Why is this posted in general music discussions? Are you posting here from now on?

Regardless of their genre you can't have a "W" guitarist list without Johnny Winter or Leslie West.

Laurie Wisefield of Wishbone Ash (and Home) should be here.

I never thought anyone could upstage Andy Powell but when Wisefield joined Wishbone in 1974 he largely took most of the solos from Powell when the 2 of them weren't harmonising. A very underrated lead guitarist.

This thread was moved from "Prog Polls". Interestingly, the 9 previous polls didn't matter to anyone.Confused
