Pepper, Abbey Road..

Don't dis Chuck without him pulling rock and roll out from the blues, none of the others would exist. Chuck was probably the most influential of all.

Berry was an influential guitarist, but not a great player.. Johnnie Johnson was equally important in the Berry song catalouge..

I will concede on your derivatives argument. However, I think you're being too technical about things and totally unfair about Chuck. I rarely get upset about anything but calling Chuck a scrub is irritating. You can't honestly say that while saying he inspired a new generation. It's not fair man.

I'm not calling Chuck a scrub, I'm saying he doesn't belong in a list of top 10 greatest guitarists.. I said twice he was influential.. very influential, more than anyone in rock history, perhaps..

but be honest.. the reason he makes the list is because he was in early, on the rock scene.. his songwriting, themes about cars and teens, reasonated... his songs clicked, unlike, say, Bo Diddley, a much better guitarist, but whose themes were less inviting to a new, young-people oriented, record-buying public. (white kids)

because Chuck's songs were popular, the British heard him, aped him, and expanded rock and roll... but.. doesn't mean he was a great guitarist..

You're getting into a whole other realm.
Roy Clark, Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins...The list goes on.

As suggested before, lists are made to be debated over a cold beverage.....for what it's worth, I did find another one which omitted from it's top 10 Townsend, Van Halen and Beck and replaced those names with Robert Johnson, Ry Cooder and the great SRV.

While the other names were jumbled about in different order from my first posting....Jimi remained #1, of course. Were he alive today to hear of such dribble (ie: people determining the "best of all time"), he'd probably laugh and say "That's fine....but I still ain't playin' Foxy Lady again....."

I don't know if you can put Duane Allman on that list and leave off Dickey Betts. Duane was an incredible talent but it was Dickey Betts that made their sound by picking as much as Duane did on slide.. There are few guitar players that could bring the soul and emotion out of a guitar like Dickey. Jimi Hendrix was one of them.

Jessica and In Memory of Elizabeth Reed are all time favorite instrumentals.

I'm taking notes of all these players yall are mentioning that I haven't really heard of. I want to hear how good they were. Hopefully I can find some decent recordings online.

I love Jimi but do you think he gets sentimental Woodstock points. Where do you think he ranked before Woodstock followed closely by his death in 1970.

Y'all can go on and on and on about this shit.

If a person can play guitar, they can inspire.

There are a billion guitarists out there, and a million of them that can actually play.

NO ONE is the best ever!

EXACTLY, kerwil I have seen almost all mentioned here with the exception of Hendrix, and a whole bunch more. It all depends on what style you like and music you like to listen to. I am not a country fan at all, but I have seen Roy Clark, and I would not hesitate to pay top dollar to see him play again. Motherfucker could play
