Rolling Stone leaving Robben Ford, Al DiMeola, Paco De Lucia, Brent Mason, Joe Pass off the list had my eyebrows raised. Leaving Petrucci, Joe Bonamassa, Albert Lee, Paul Gilbert, George Benson, and Tommy Emmanuel off is utter negligence. I just figured the list was put together by a youngster who didn't know any better. But Guthrie Govan ?!?! Leave him off a list and you automatically disqualify yourself as someone whose opinion I should be listening to. Rolling Stone has been on life-support for a long time. Maybe after this, it's time to pull the plug.

Good choices, but I think Davey Johnstone from the Elton John Band is the most overlooked of all. Even by you. Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, Street Kids and tons of other Elton John hits and deep tracks. Talk about an imitated guitarist who excels on Mandolin, Banjo and most other stringed instruments as well as the Electric and Acoustic Guitar. His lead and rhythm chops are hard to match and he also toured with Alice Cooper. As far as rock guitarists go, he should be listed at the top.

Two additional players I think you missed are Andres Segovia being one of the most influential classical guitarists and then Jason Becker who was also at that peak of neoclassical playing before being unable to play due to ALS. Also given how much their list seemed to emphasize what quite frankly boils down to diversity, it’s a bit crazy to leave off Becker given he continues to compose music while basically being limited to communicating one letter at a time.

If we are allowed to nominate pairs of guitarists, might I suggest Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones of The Outlaws? I was lucky enough to see them in the summer of '76 and they left a lifelong impression. If you can , listen to Anthology [Live and Rare] '73 to '81, especially the earlier recordings, and I hope you might agree. To me they still sound fresh and for a short while I'm young again!

One thing that stood out to me based on a show the last year or so was Robben Ford, who you included. I saw him play while he had a broken finger on his left hand. He said "I will jsut paly around it" and he was still phenominal! One player missing for bot your list and the RS list that I think is deserving of recognition is Sonny Landreth.

There are quite a few guitarists on the list that wouldn't play like they did without listening to the Melvins or being associated with them. He created Sludge and directly influenced the creation of Grunge in a huge way. He has one of the most monstrously gargantuan guitar tones and styles that anyone could ever hear.

So I figured he would at least make a top 250 list. Therefore, his position here at #58 was well deserved and probably about right. So they got that one about right - finally!

I was very surprised to see that Jan Akkerman was not on the list, and indeed like you mentioned, Roy Clark, Paco de Lucia, Gary Moore, and Glen Campbell, should be on there as well. Also i had hoped to see Emppu Vuorinen on the list, as well as Sabaton's Tommy Johansson, but i guess they are not known enough in the United States. Quite a few excellent European guitarists did not make the list, but then again... lists are always personal to some degree.

Lastly since Rolling Stone is such a huge influence on music in general is why BÖC has basically gone from being one of the most successful bands of the 70s and 80s to a band that no one knows about.

BÖC was immensely popular back in the 70s and early 80s. I believe as far as touring goes, they were the first band to knock Led Zeppelin off their long held top spot. Buck was also ranked in the top 10 guitarists of the 70s. I believe that Sandy Pearlman, BÖC’s long time manager had some sort of feud with Rolling Stone Magazine. Probably explains a lot of why BÖC has basically been relegated to the dustbin of rock n roll history. A load of crap in my opinion. The original lineup with the Bouchard brothers was among the most talented group of musicians ever assembled.
