Wrong list, mister know-it-all!I guess they are greatest ROCK guitarists and not just greatest guitarists
Um, no.
Once again, comprehension fails you.
100 Greatest Guitarists: David Fricke's Picks | Rolling Stone
Thats actually the right list.
The top 10 is all that is mentioned in the OP, but that is where the list came from.
Plus, BB King isn't a "Rock" guitarist.

Jimi Hendrix named 'greatest guitar player in history' - Telegraph
1. Jimi Hendrix
2. Eric Clapton
3. Jimmy Page
4. Keith Richards
5. Jeff Beck
6. B.B. King
7. Chuck Berry
8. Eddie Van Halen
9. Duane Allman
10. Pete Townshend
I won't nit-pik the list, but don't ya think Stevie Ray Vaughan should be on the list?
Chuck Berry had a rep but I think he was pretty stupid and egomaniacle. Keith Richards did a tour with the bastard and regretted it.
You need to include Joe Walsh in that group of ten taking off Chuck Berry, along with Don Felder who wrote "Hotel California" and played lead guitar for the Eagles. Berry was a one-trick pony.

In that case I like Peter White hands down when it comes to Jazz.

No, it's actually the right list. Click the link in the OP:
Legendary musician Jimi Hendrix has been named the greatest guitar player in history by Rolling Stone magazine in a list compiled by a panel of music experts and top guitar players.
And then you go to Rolling Stone:
100 Greatest Guitarists | Rolling Stone
Edit: You're half right. I posted the original 2003 link in my previous post. The updated list is right here. Which is the same list. Which is a list of the 100 greatest guitarists, which is where the Telegraph story in the OP came from. Which still proves that TM is dead wrong.

a one trick pony who who influenced a hell of a lot of People....
......how many new guitarist say Joe Walsh was my major influence as compared to how many say that about Berry?......how many Joe Walsh songs are recorded as compared to Berry?.....ill tell you what Mud when Walsh or Felder write a tune that is covered as often as "Johnny B. Goode" then you might have a point.....but until then....find me a greatest Guitarist list that even has them 2 guys in the top 25....

Yes. At least they didn't stick "Yngwie Malmsteen" or some other hair band thrasher on there though. Being a "great" guitarist should entail writing great music and not just playing faster than anyone else.

If I remember correctly after perusing the full 100 list last night, Yngwie didn't even make the top 100.
I would've at least put him in place of Lindsey Buckingham.
