He's saying not everyone will agree that he wins by the criteria.

Not bad at all! Good of you to note Michael Bloomfield. In 66' he was widely regarded as one the best and most influential blues guitarist, but herione and bad career decisions led him into obscurity and an early demise. His work with Butterfiled is just as good as anything Clapton did.

Status ... bleh. Doesn't mean too much. Allman was one of the modern pinoneers of slide guitar just as much as Hendrix revolutionized hard rock - style. Page and Clapton are also quite well - esteemed.

Both took old songs and used their prodigious skill to make it their own. It was hard rock - style of guitar that took off and not slide guitar technique, which granted a bit more of fame to Hendrix.

Sounds like I am bashing him, but I actually like him a lot. I love his covers of other songs at 'Live at Monterry'.

So I made some pretty glaring omissions.

Some oversights I really regret.

Bill Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe.
Keith Levene of Public Image Ltd
Michael Karoli of Can.
Vivian Campbell of Dio
Wata of Boris
Ty Tabor of Kings X
Matthias Jabs and Rudy Schenker of Scorpions
Izzy Stradlin of Gnr

Some others I'll be sure to add.

Well I really like what I've heard from Tera Melos.

I'm working on an extra 50, so any more recommendations would be super.
