Thread Name: Top 100 Guitarists of All Time
Subject: RE: Top 100 Guitarists of All Time
I totally agree with the comment a few up. John Mayer should definitly be up there somewhere. He shreds it up right alongside of Hendrix, Guy, and Stevie Ray. But at the same time he can slow it down to a nice mellow acoustic jam. I mean hes all over the place. And the blues stuff on TRY! along with the colaborations with King and Guy, like damn man. Then he goes right back to his mellow stuff. I'm not saying number one or anything but he definitly needs to be up there.

Also, Kurt Cobain and Jack White need to be knocked down a few and James Taylor, and Jim Croce should at least be on there.

And Robert Johnson, i get it hes good, king of the blues, sold his soul to the devil and all, that has to get him somewhere. But randonly put on a few of his songs and try to tell them apart without the words, there might be some confusion. You have to admit a lot of his stuff sounds the same, its good, but all the sam.

And the guy that said Tommy Emmanuel, dude I agree, hes no john Mayer though.
