Also Carlos Santana should be higher up the list. So should Rory Gallagher!
Jimmy Page is overrated. So is Mark Knopfler but I still like his music.
What about John Squire,Steve Craddock, Jeffrey Lee Pierce?

Squire is up there.
I love Neil Young, he's a great guitarist, but lets not go crazy, I'm judging him as a guitarist alone. And as a guitarist alone there's a good deal of people who outrank him even if he's a better songwriter.

And where the f*ck (excuse the french) is John Lee Hooker, BB King, Djengo Rheinhardt, Joe Pass, Thurston Moore/Kim Gordon?????

This is a rock oriented list. I do have some blues guitarists on here that I feel have a more rock oriented sound, like SRV. But Django and Pass certainly don't qualify as rock.
Thurston Moore is up there. Kim Gordon is the bassist, not a guitarist.

Now I can understand these lists cant exactly be that easy to do & its easy to forget about certain artists etc etc but I think to do one of these you have to consider all genres (including Jazz guitarists & even artists you dont even like).

200 Greatest Guitarists in
Rock.
If it were an all genres list, there would barely be any rock in it at all.

To me this list just looks like its listed in order of fame/popularity.
But thats just my opinion of course.

Eh no... There's a lot of obscure names in there, from all the big rock genres. If the popular names are higher, that's because influence and impact is a factor.

Im intriguied though as Im sure I saw a very similar list in a recent music mag & Im sure Neil Young was either 88th or 89th in it & Hendrix was definitley no1with Page closeby.
So did you just copy it from the internet/magazine?

Absolutely not and I'm quite insulted that you are suggesting that.
