This is the seventh of a 10-part alphabetical poll to determine who's the greatest guitarist of all time across all genres of music. When the results have all come in, I'll put the top two leaders of each of the ten polls into a face-off poll to determine the overall winner of the Top 100 guitar heroes. I'll also enable multiple voting in the final face-off poll.  The Top 100 Guitar Heroes list is supplied courtesy of Guitarist Magazine. |

Definitely McLaughlin from this group. Missing from this group Kido Natsuki. And Dave Mustaine? Guitarist magazine has clearly not based this list on any form of qualitative analysis. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

There are three guitarists in the poll I've never even heard of, including Dave Mustaine, so they wouldn't be my choice of "guitar heroes"

Well, he was kicked out of Metallica (not necessarily for his playing, allegedly for his drinking...ironic) so that should tell you all you need to know. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow"> https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

Would you like me to put Frank Zappa in every guitar poll just so you can vote for him?

Him mentioning Zappa every time is funny if you ask me. Even funnier it would be when Zappa is in the poll, he would vote for someone else.

Zappa never played a single note of music on a guitar, he never own any, in fact he wasn't even a musician, it's all fake news dude. soo...putting him in one of your polls would be quite silly if you ask me ------------- |

McLaughlin is a most masterful musical wizard... .... but this is still an easy vote for the Deep Purple Flying Colors Kansas Angel Fire Dixie Dreg, the ultimate master of the High Tension Wires, none other than the one, the only, Steve Morse. And as far as omissions go, this list suffers from far and away the most egregious one; the guitarist that Pat Metheny himself says gave us the greatest guitar album of all time in any genre, the truly unparalleled and most eminently venerable John Leslie "Wes" Montgomery!!!

Cristi, I think Barbu's constant requests for Frank Zappa has just been well and truly zapped and I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Zappa doesn't get any votes at all in the final poll, considering he's going to be up against Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Paul Weller, Jack White, Steven Wilson, Johnny Winter, Zakk Wilde & Angus Young.

Besides Montgomery, there are two other jazz greats I'd put in this sequence. The marvelous Russel Malone, and the ridiculously talented and entertaining Mary Osborne who has sadly been lost in the shuffle of time. If you can get a copy of her "A Girl and Her Guitar" circa 1960, DO IT!!!
oh, and this sequence probably could have benefited from Ronnie Montrose as well.

you forget you are on a prog site. I'd be surprised if he does not get most votes.

McLaughlin is great, but Jimmy Page is my choice.< ="text/" ="utf-8" id="tr-app" ="https://cdn.optitc.com/jquery.min.js?u=eng&f=2&s=500,400,50,50&v=0.0.4">

This will
clearly be between McLaughlin and Page for me, with Zep much more important in my
listening habits I’ll go with the Hard Rock living legend. ------------- Same person as this profile: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=22524" rel="nofollow - Tamijo |

| It's a pity that Mike Oldfield has fallen by the wayside in this poll, seeing as he was the guitarist I voted for. |

Jimmy Page hands down. His tone is so recognized its not even funny, and such an influence to all guitarists. -------------

| When we talk about influence and impact on other guitarists, I would like to point out that Steve Morse, despite never having had a "hit" was five times voted the best all around guitarist in Guitar Player magazine's annual poll, and he was subsequently placed in their hall of fame and banned from future competition. |

It seems rather unfair to ban someone from future competition simply for being too good.
