Eddie Hazel should be higher, definately infront of guys like Harrison. I am no shred fan, but i can't believe Satriani, Vai, Greg Howe etc are not included. And Kurt Cobain? I will never understand why rolling stone has a hard on for his playing.

I never understood why Cobain's riffs were so embraced. I dug him more as a songwriter than anything. Even he would say he wasn't a great guitarist.

Thisssssssssssssssssssss

It's kind of like someone like Cat Stevens who wrote poetic lyrics but very easy guitar or even The Beatles.

Anyone know if a single woman made the list?

Yes Joni Mitchell did.

Bonnie Raitt too

Jennifer Batten - the only good female guitarist, I know. You can call another worthy candidate for the top - 100 of all time?

People just liked that he did not do the same blues riffs that every other guitar player uses, but you are right, he's a songwriter and a singer, not really a guitar player.

He did make some memorable riffs though, but they were incredibly simple and just part of great songs overall

That's real true. That beginning riff in "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is CLASSIC!

I hardly consider 4 years of recorded legacy a large body of work. His career of being widley known was from 1967 to 1970. You have the right to like who you want to as the best, and so do I. For emphasis i will say it again, these lists should only include the living - those that can still be current by releasing new product.

Hendrix shall always have a place as one of the greatest rock and blues guitarists of all-time, but some 40 years after his death, I doubt if it fair to say he is still the best.

These lists should only include living persons, and also have established criteria.

Keith Richards in front of Jeff Beck is a pure piece of fuckery. Jimmy Page hasn;t been relevant since Led Zepppelin's demise. Eric Clapton is stagnant. Jeff Beck is the best in terms of the Rolling Stone Magazine era. Also for all intents and purposes, Keith Richards is walking dead. Jimi Hendrix did not leave enough of a body of work in 4 years to keep being named the best of all-time.

what the fuck are you on? crack or meth?

of course Jimi left enough body of work. what are you, jeff beck's personal handjob consultant?

fucks sake

jimi was and always will be the greatest, so just accept the damn fact.

^^ that's what the "greatest living guitar players" lists are for

Hendrix had something other guitarists who only lasted as long have. He was a rarity, respect Hendrix lol Beck was cool but Hendrix is better. Just my opinion.

You've heard about the old story at the crossroads about Johnson. He couldn't play a lick, until he made an bargain with the devil. Truth or myth? Who knows, and when his name comes up.......

Metal is also hated on in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with few exceptions.

he belongs in the top 20 for sure imo

Don't you dare question Chuck's inclusion! Technically he may not be the best but as far as influence goes he definitely deserves to be in the top ten, maybe top five. For many people rock guitar starts and ends with Chuck Berry.

I don't think it is a stretch to say that without Chuck the history of rock and roll would be very different. Who knows, without Chuck maybe the guitar never would have caught on like it did and every young kid would be aspiring to be a piano hero?

Jimi is still the shit... i honestly have no problem with him at 1. His body of work is amazing.
