Clapton would get my vote. OH says Hendrix! AL

Brian May is up there with the guiter Legends.

We got Hendrix LP Santana loved Woodstock

I hadn't noticed that Mau, it made interesting reading though didn't it?? Lots of names on there that I didn't recognise Dee ;-))

Hi Dee Just come back on site. Like you find it hard to believe Les Paul was placed at no. 46!! He's a legend and inspired many would be guitarists. The list is three years old though!! Mau

Just looked at that site Paul mentioned amazing they have Hendrix at No 1 and I don't believe that Les Paul should be right down at 46, surely he was a legend in his time? ;-)))

Hi Dee Agree with everybody's choices, however no one has mentioned Ry Cooder, probably one of the tops in the world. Mau xxx also should say my son and grandson are pretty hot as well!!

Dont agree with Hendrix sorry, he was a stunt guitarist, my opinion. Carlos Santana, Formed group Santana, 60s, Born in Mexico, music = Latin American Rock Blues, came to fame at Woodstock and played Soul Sacrifice, Albums = Abravax, Caravanserae etc etc, best single = Samba pati [ now playing on tv advert ]. A few more guitarist jan ackerman, BB King, Chris Rea. and Alvin Lee out of Ten Years After.

Will take a look at that later Paul, need to dodge the showers and go shopping ;-((((

Just found this... Rolling Stone magazines 100 greatest guitarists of all time http://www.rollingstone(.)com/news/story/5937559/the_100_greatest_guitarists_of_all_time/ Note that it was compiled 3 years ago and, as always, these things are subjective, we'd never all agree !

Paul, my son is a great fan of theirs as well, saw them live, last year I think it was ;-)))

can't disagree with Clapton beaing great would also like to give a nod to the guitarist from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, John Frusciante

Fred, I had been thinking of drummers as well, Keith Moon has to have been the all time best, he was so talented, pity he, like a lot of other very talented musicians, died so young Dee ;-))))

Yes think he was Dee Davex

Certainly do remember him Dave, Guitar Boogie Shuffle?? Am I right in thinking he was often on the Palladium?? ;-)))

Eric is brilliant so is John Williams! Hank Marvin was good as well , anybody remember Bert Weedon? Davex

Dee lol That is true :O) When I saw Billy live last year - this guy was playing with his arm in plaster !!!! and not a bum note at all lol

Hi Anne Backing musicians never seem to get the recognition they deserve do they?? Which is a great pity really, as without them some singers would be quite lost (not that Billy Idol could ever come into that category) ;-)))

Steve Stevens - is fantastic tho probably not so well known - part of Billy Idol's backing .............

Gwynne I agree about Jimi Hendrix, he was legendry Lee Some names that I haven't come across there You ask where I get my inspiration from.. If it isn't a book that I have read, I usually find that I am chatting to someone about something and start wondering what other peoples opinions would be on the subject I have a pen and pad in the car, and am forever jotting down notes about things. Some because I want to do more research on them and find out more about them. Now I need to go find out more about Carlos Santana, I may have heard his music but the name rings no bells Dee ;-)))
