ummm some of these dudes are on the list just because they made a name for themself through their band being popular and not because they were supremely skilled as a guitarist. Cobain was a decent guitar player at best who played really slow chords and used basic scales for his solos, buddy holly mostly played chords, lou reed is another example. There are very skilled guitarists that should make rolling stone's and this list but they are not as wideley known because their band didnt sell 1 million albums. Off the top of my head, Thomas Erak of Fall of Troy should be in there, Chris Arp of Psyopus, and at least one of the guitarists from Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza. Those are a few talented musicians that are way more technically proficient than, Cobain, Lou Reed, or Buddy Holly.
