I haven't looked thru the whole list but I'm very interested to see who's on it.

P.S. Read the comments at the bottom. Too funny that everyone has different favorites.

Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Gibson's Top 50 guitarists

These popularity contests are a hoot.

A very few notable omissions are Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Steve Howe (Yes, Asia), Don Ross (2-Time US Fingerstyle Champ), Michael Chapdelaine, Brad Paisley, Narcisso Yepes ... and there are soooo many others. The contest is clearly about popularity (awareness) and not ability, because there are a LOT of greats that could play circles around many of the people on this list.

There are some on the list who simply aren't great guitarists ... Keith Richards? Seriously?

Re: Gibson's Top 50 guitarists

I am thinking it is mostly our own favorite artist's I did not see Peter Frampton in there. Yes Keith Richards is a fantastic guitar player and his partner Ronnie Woods but the play the strats and telecasters most of the time.
