The 50 Best Guitarists Of All Time
To celebrate the world's best guitarists, we're celebrating the fret-wranglers who made rock'n'roll history by publishing the definitive, 100% infallible list of the 50 Greatest Guitarists Ever.
Of course, we know that isn't true.
Any feature like this is a rock'n'roll bunfight, and we've inevitably included musicians some readers would never have chosen, and ignored others they believe worthy of a place near the top.
But this list wasn't compiled by a bunch of tired hacks sitting in a room rolling out the same old names.
Famous guitarist
It was voted for by you. 70,000 votes were cast, and sure, there's some predictable results... but there's also some surprises.
And for each entry another musician of note (plus an astronomer, and a comedy writer) has chimed in with their thoughts, so you can read what Scott Ian thought about Malcolm Young, or what Dweezil Zappa leant from his dad.
So thanks for taking part, one and all.
You made this.
