    Yeah, I get the rag.
    I think they should have quantified the title with, for instance, the best rock and/or blues guitarist, etc. I mean really: THE 100 GREATEST GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME. Gimmee a fucking break.....arrogant, self-centered fucking assholes.

    OK, I'm through.

    Hendrix was a hell of a fine player, for what he did. I sorta like what Townsend said about him.

    true, they somewhat ignored a lot of good jazz and country artists, but they did get some of the necessaries, and ranked a lot of guys for what they brought to the music, not just skill.

    ...and classical, flamenco, etc.

    Don't quite agree with you there, Mag; but, you know that.
    Because, any moron can be an "artist," but, it takes hard work to make music; the skill part is what you develop to fully express and make music.

    I disagree, the ability to fully express and make music is what defines an "artist". There are plenty of guitarists who are extremely far from being an "artist".

    I totally agree. The world's full of technicians, and morons. However, it's the morons who are getting recognition for being great guitarists.
    Personally, I'm into the players/artists who have the technique, forget about it; that have the vocabulary to draw upon for expression.
    I'm into instrumental music that can stand on it's own, hold my interest for longer than the attention span of a gnat.

    Pat Martino

    and

    Wayne Krantz

    Not aware of Krantz; but, I gotta say Martino is one truly "bad mofo," definitely qualifies as an artist, with intelligence and soul. BTW: You don't happen to know the recording (live, I think) he did with Eric Alexander (ten. player) as a sideman, do you?

    Eric Clapton said the best he ever heard was Mark Knofler. Now there is a hell of a compliment.
