Top 100 Guitarists of All Time

Kinda hard for me to take this list seriously when I don’t see names like Hughie Thomasson and Allen Collins. That aside, when I saw that they used Chet and Willie as tokens, I figured they meant to have called it the top 100 rock and r&b guitarists. Otherwise, where in the hell are Roy Clark, Merle Travis, Glenn Campbell and Jerry Reed? That’s obviously the tip of the iceberg and doesn’t even touch on behind the curtain guys who could play the pants off just about everyone on that list, people like Grady Martin, Hank Garland and Harold Bradley.

Had a TikTok come across my FYP about Brad Paisley, which was duetted by another person, leading me to this gem on YouTube. Don’t know if it was posted earlier or not, but it’s pretty cool. Brad Paisley can play as good as any of these guys.

Surprised that Tommy Emmanuel hasn't been mentioned in this thread.

Honestly, he’s one of the best ever. I saw a duet with him and Brad Paisely, and he made Paisley look like a beginner, which is something since Brad is a monster guitar player.

The fact that Terry Kath isn't included strongly suggests that this list is based as much, if not more, on popularity than it is talent.

Just like with the bogus Rolling Stone list of greatest singers of all time, it is just mind boggling that in a world of 8 plus billion people and almost 200 nations that all of the “greatest musicians” somehow come almost exclusively from only The US and UK? It is so sad that most of the world was cursed by a lack of musical talent </sarcasm>
