Rolling Stone’s top 10 greatest guitarists

[mudwhistle]

I noticed the libs at Rolling Stones left Ted Nugent out of the top 30.

Seems like a popularity contest to me.

Orianthi Profile

Learn about the female guitarist in the Michael Jackson rehearsal videos

Since the final Michael Jackson "This Is It" rehearsal videos have been released, people have been talking about the female guitarist featured alongside Jackson. Her name is Orianthi Panagaris, and she's barely 24 years old.

Born in Adelaide, South Australia on January 22 1985, Orianthi started playing guitar at age six. When the guitarist was 11, she saw Carlos Santana play, and dedicated herself to the electric guitar. By 15, Orianthi had left school to concentrate on playing music full time. That same year Orianthi opened for Steve Vai, and by the time the guitarist was 18, she had shared a stage with Carlos Santana. Apparently, Santana was impressed - he's quoted as saying "If I was going to pass the baton to somebody, she would be my first choice."

I'd say they got that one right.

Nugent is good, but not THAT good.

Nugent has one good song "Stranglehold" and not much else.

I'll go with what he said... "Rating guitarists is a stupid hobby..." (Frank Zappa)

Notice the car. That's how I met Jeff.

I'll take Jeff's word for it. I bought his LP- "Wired" new in the store when it came out. Also, someone told me Johnny Winter was real good. Was he?

I won't nit-pik the list, but don't ya think Stevie Ray Vaughan should be on the list?

He has to be on the list!

He's not into that mainstream bubblegum BS.

I was a fan of Hendrix's music, and still am, but best guitarist? No way. That would go to Eric Clapton at least and i would have trouble arguing with other picks as well like Eddie Van Halen.

The Rolling Stone has been clueless for decades.
