Thread Name: Gibson's 'Top 50 Guitarists'
Subject: RE: Gibson's 'Top 50 Guitarists'
Hendrix was a junkie who wasted more talent than he ever showed.
Ottmar Liebert? Willie Nelson? David Hidalgo and/or Cesar Rosas from Los Lobos?
Jack White and Kurt Cobain, my ass.
I can play rings around those turds that they call "great guitar" and I haven't played an electric in years.
John Jorgenson? Al DiMeola?
I don't even necessarily care for his music, but Vince Gill can play the hell out of the guitar. Ditto for Marty Stuart.
Ray Benson is a better guitarist asleep (pun intended) than many of these jokes awake and woodshedding for a year.
Whatever... Gibson didn't "release" or "reveal" a damned thing... they polled a bunch of people who listed the guys they like. Greatest guitarists, my auntie's hat.
