It's hard to pick a solitary "best" of all time. Not even a nomination for Duane Allman or Dickie Betts? No Alvin Lee or Peter Fripp? None of the great session guys are on the list...no Jeff Baxter or Steve Cropper. You stretched with B.B. King for his ability to play the blues but included Willie Nelson as a joke. Why not offer Chet Atkins who is an incredible guitarist though best known as a country artist?

No acoustic virtuosos on the list, like a Leo Kottke, Norman Blake or the early masters? Are you required to "plug-in" and be "famous" to be considered a great guitarist?

I voted for "Other"...

tony b.

just bein' contrary!

p.s. Tony Mosrite has the best last name in this thread...if I could play guitar, I'd play a Mosrite 12 string!
