This is why Rolling Stone is only good for starting a fire- not reading! They don't have Nancy Wilson or Neil Schone on there, both EXCELLENT guitarists. Neil started playing pro @ 15 for Santana (this being AFTER Eric Clapton asked him to join Derrick and the Dominoes- Carlos called first) and Nancy is a grad of Juliard. I saw them both in concert recently (Journey and Heart are on tour together). Eddie Van Talentless?? Jonie I-Stum-A-Few-Cords-Mitchelle?? Curt Go-Bang?? ANd good as he was, he was a TRICKSTER more than a player, so WHY oh WHY is Jimmy Hendricks #1?!?!?!?!? Jimmy Page out plays almost everyone on this list hands down, including Hendricks. So does Stevie Ray. Jorma Kaukonen @ 54?!?!!? Get a solo album of his and listen to him play. One man, one guitar and you'de swear it was a quartet. So anyway, Rolling Stone sucks, always has, always will.
