I know power chords are difficult to play and all, but I wouldn't consider them to be remotely talented guitarists.

*Sarcasm.* What the hell did I just say? Skill/Talent is part of the criteria, this isn't a best guitarists list. What constitutes talent is your opinion, and like my own personal opinion about which of these guitarists are and aren't talented (though I think everyone here is talented in some way), it's totally worthless when regarding this list, every guitarist here has some kind of influence, meaning somebody always disagrees with you no matter which guitarist you say shouldn't be here. If you think that because a guitarist has a stripped down, power chords based style it translates to having no talent whatsoever and thus he/she shouldn't be on this list, then you might as well argue for me to exclude all punk guitarists if you're gonna make an argument like that, and that of course, would be retarded. I'm not gonna judge every guitarist here by how well they can solo, because not every guitarist is a soloist, and not every guitarist is a rhythmist or riff maker. It's hard to make a list with Steve Hackett AND Johnny Ramone using the same criteria, but I'm not comparing their abilities or talents, rather what they have contributed to their respective genre, what they've innovated and the guitarists they have influenced. Of course Hackett is higher, because his superior guitar skills give him the edge. But that dosen't take away from what guys like Ramone have done for rock guitar either. What matters is, some people think they're talented, to deny their influence and impact (as guitarists) is foolish. |

Sure.
I don't think I can expand the list much further though, character limits. |
