Nice list here Yoga, but WOW on EC NOT being a top tier guy!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I hope the OP's choice for #2 was in 1968 (the year I saw jimi)....not '78.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nice list here Yoga, but WOW on EC NOT being a top tier guy!

Thanks.....I guess they're all more or less interchangeable,as far as "rankings" go to some degree. And I also have another handful that I didn't list, but I easily could have....
ie: Robert Johnson, Jimmy Page, Pete Townsend, SRV, EVH, Adrian Belew, JJ Cale, Mark Knopfler,John McLaughlin, Mick Ronson, Robert Fripp, Warren Haynes, BB King....

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Jimmie Page hits my TOP 3 guitarists ALL TIME, that dude was incredible in the early seventies.

 

[BigDDude]

I would like to see the guys from these lists so far ( which I agree with for the most part ), play both as fast and technically excellent as Yngwie Malmsteen.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

a few more I forgot to list but definitely deserve a mention....

Larry Coryell
John Fahey
Alvin Lee
Eddie Hazel
Justin Hayward.
