I wrote this several months ago, and now very recently Jeff has passed away.😪 I find it sad that all these youtube channels ignored him in their "best guitarist" or "most influential guitarist lists" but since he has died, have suddenly remembered him, making tributes!!

He said, “I don’t know, ask Roy Clark.” And Douglas asked Hendrix: “What's it was like to be the best rock guitarist in the world?” Jimi then beautifully responded, “I don't know, you'll have to ask Rory Gallagher”. I got both answers - we will just have to assume they were both great but Roy Clark was not a rock guitarist - maybe that’s the difference. Of course, Jimi Hendrix was no slouch himself.

For me the truest mark of a great guitarist is when you can instantly identify who’s playing no matter what guitar is being used or whether it’s that person’s own music or someone else’s. By that definition, David Gilmour is right at the top of the list. While he’s known for mostly playing Strats, David could play a spoon and still sound like himself. And whether it’s Pink Floyd, his solo work or as a session musician for someone else, you know immediately that it’s David Gilmour on guitar. Perfect example, No More Lonely Nights, by Paul McCartney.

Tengo 61 años. Escuché en su época dorada a muchos de los mencionados aquí. Soy fan de Pink Floyd por sobre todo, por lo que mi preferencia musical está con él. En mi comentario principal dije que este ranking parece estar elaborado, más por "fama" que por aptitudes de los guitarristas. O bien porque son "rápidos para mover los deditos" Ahí está el caso de varios que están al fondo del ranking por debajo de otros que no son mejores. No era rápido, pero ¿vas a dejar afuera a lo que fue e influyó George Harrison? ¿y Gary Moore? ¿Jeff Beck? ¿Mark Knopfler? ¿Paco de Lucía SOLO mención, una locura? Acepto el lugar que le dan a Gilmour, pero es el que más me gusta.

The reality is that any list like this will never be agreed on by everyone. Everyone has their own taste and each musician has their own style and sound, so my answer to the question is always that they are each the best at what they do. One day Blackmore could be my favourite and another day it could be Page, or Gilmore, or Clapton or whoever I'm in the mood to listen to at the time. Everyone mentioned in the video and in the comments are all phenomenal musicians and all deserve respect.

He was a genius but you have to really learn his stuff, dig a little deeper and you will be rewarded. Page is easier to get into Hendrix will never cease to amaze you. Pity so many people just don't see/hear it. You have to invest in him. I mean Gilmour is great but his magic is 70% tone. Players like Hendrix and also Knopfler are/were so much more creative and imaginative.

I'm talking about the incomparable Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi. Between his high energy guitar solos on such songs as Dry County, to the unmistakable riff of Wanted Dead or Alive. Maybe the producers of Mojo should listen to Richie's first solo album to get the whole picture. I really like Mojo's little featurettes, but you really dropped the ball on this one.

I like that you had Richie Blackmore on the list. There were a few missing, like the late great Jeff Beck. Actually, the older guitarists are greater than the younger ones because they had to think up all the techniques and styles. The younger ones just copied them straight out of the book, and from a much younger age.

How any list of the top guitarists of all time could leave out Rory Gallagher is beyond me! Hell, Brian May, Johnny Marr and Gary Moore (another notable absentee from this list!) all mention Rory as having a huge influence on their own careers.. What's plain is that whoever put this list together, probably didn't do much research on the subject matter and likely trotted out their own favourite players without polling anybody who really knew how to offer some really talented players. I think I'll give future lists a miss.....
