Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) is better than 3/4 of that list and the best guitarist in the game these days IMO.

The fact that Chet Atkins isn't in the top 10 and Dickey Betts nor Mark Knopfler are even on the list makes me believe whoever pulled this list out of their anus has no credibility what so ever.

Big Stevie Ray Vaughn fan. There are too many guitarist over the years to say best. Roy Clarke was way underrated!
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) is better than 3/4 of that list and the best guitarist in the game these days IMO. Yep. Joe Satriano is damn good too. Many on the list have some pizzazz, but not top of the hill skill. Hard to not say EVH is the best. I don't think all genres were repped. Billy Strings is good too.

Some of those are laughable. I do agree with BCLC on this one. Charlie Starr is very good. Several others left out such as Steve Gaines, Allen Collins, and Derek Trucks. Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) is better than 3/4 of that list and the best guitarist in the game these days IMO.

And they have The Edge on the list. He was terrible early on and became serviceable but no way he's top 100 much less top 50.

Thank you! Roy Clark was very good too. Keith Richards is good but not top 20 and I’m a huge stones fan. Has some incredible licks and signature riffs though. How Alex Lifeson from RUSH is left off is insane. Prince should be top 5. Maybe top 3.

Carlos Santana you can tell him by his sound when he is playing First that came to mind and Roy wasn’t far behind , but there are so many…watched a Les Paul performance not long ago..B.B. King and a host of bluesmen….Vai,..Satrioni…Brad Paisley is talented…too many to not leave some out.
experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....
