In the same sense I added Allan Holdsworth and John Maclaughlin, who are probably more thought of as Jazz guitarists but they have a handful of rock material and an overall rock oriented sound, and no Pat Matheny wasn't an oversight, just in case that comes up.

Just so long as it isn't a personal insult to the king of the blues (like The Unfan...don't know how much crack he was smoking). I did notice the absence of a few other guitarists, but it wasn't anything big. I would have rearranged the top ten:
- Jimi Hendrix
- Duane Allman
- Chuck Berry
- Eric Clapton
- Jimmy Page
- Bo Diddley
- Jeff Beck
- Eddie Van Halen
- Stevie Ray Vaughan
- Pete Townshend
