The Rolling Stone List may have included a "who's who" of rock guitar but the compiler apparently knew very little or cared very little about other guitar styles. Merle Travis and Chet Atkins were very influential in country music and Travis also had some effect on guitarists in Great Britain as well as the United States. Travis' son, Thom Bresh, is an incredible guitarist by almost any standard. Travis, Atkins, and Bresh can bring almost any piece of music alive with a solo guitar. Nothing else is needed. Other fine guitar players deserving mention are Eddy Adcock, Jerry Reed, Comer Mullins, and Eddy Pennington. While Mullins and Pennington are not well known outside the Thumbpicker guitar circles, both are certainly masters of the instrument. Adcock is well known in bluegrass circles and Reed plays with a wreckless abandon in a style of his own.
