Is Paco de Lucia on the list?

He's the one Tommy Emmanuel (who should be top 10 himself) called "the world's greatest guitarist".

Saw elsewhere that Vernon Reid called out the absence of Allan Holdsworth as "pure ignorance".

Not clicking either.

They are good but are they really better than Knopfler


Knopfler is top 50 just on Sultans of Swing alone.

While the list is complete shite, it's at least pretty consistently a rock/blues list. I don't have a problem leaving out great guitarists from other genres.

I'm sure there are some bad arse jazz and classical guitarists out there that are not on the list.

Leslie West at 245 is a joke.

Do they even have Sonny Landreth on their list? Can't find him in top 150, and that's very telling of this list.

Eric Clapton even called Sonny one of the greatest.

Eric Clapton is number 30?


He was #2 when they did list in 2011. I guess he regressed in a major way.

No Gary Moore or Andy Timmons. Eric Johnson at 205 is laughable.
