Jayto | Gibson's 'Top 50 Guitarists' (37) | RE: Gibson's 'Top 50 Guitarists' | 23 Jul 10 |
I hate these things. Everytime I read one I end up laughing (to keep from screaming and yelling) and thinking "Man they are just clueless". Yes they have some great musicians listed but for the most part nowhere near "The Best". I firmly believe that at a certain level of playing a player is great. From there though "The Best" is all about personal taste so it is impossible to designate someone as "The Best". Yeah Hendrix may have been the best psychedelic rock guitarist in alot of people's opinion. Hand him an acoustic guitar (if he was still alive) and have him sit down with Bryan Sutton and see who makes your head spin. Have Stevie Ray Vaughn do an inpromptu jam with Django. Django would not only be able to do everything Stevie Ray did but also be able to show him things he never dreamed was possible. In turn Stevie Ray would not be able to hang with Django on an impromtu jam. I mean these lists are worthless. Basically they are saying "who has the biggest commercial name" and that is it. Man I better stop now before my head explodes. |
