This is the first of a 10-part alphabetical poll to determine who's the greatest guitarist of all time across all genres of music. When the results have all come in, I'll put the winners of each of the ten polls into a face-off poll to determine the overall winner of the Top 100 guitar heroes. Star
 
I'm voting for Ritchie Blackmore in this first poll. Thumbs Up

Originally, I was going to post four polls with 25 great guitarists in each poll, but that would have made it almost impossible to choose a favourite. Smile

it's between Benson and Blackmore.
Benson, he won't get many votes anyway.

I would have voted for George Benson too if Ritchie Blackmore hadn't been in the poll. He's a founder member of three of my favourite bands:- Deep Purple; Rainbow; & Blackmore's Night. Heart
 
Admittedly, there were three guitarists who I hadn't previously heard of in this poll:- Matt Bellamy of Muse; James Dean Bradfield of The Manic Street Preachers; & Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains.

Thank you Captain Obvious, if you hadn't told me who Ritchie blackmore was, I would have never known.

What do you mean you did not know three guitarists in your own poll? So basically, these lists of guitarists are not yours, do you take them from some place on the internet and paste them here? Wacko

As Chopper quite rightly points out, I mentioned at the top of this thread in my first post that "The Top 100 Guitar Heroes list is supplied courtesy of Guitarist Magazine." Wink
 
I didn't think for one moment that anyone here wouldn't know who Ritchie Blackmore was. LOL
 
Captain Obvious would make a good name for a band, although I might be thinking of Captain Beyond. Tongue

Cool idea for a poll. I went with Jeff Beck.

From that list Beck...sadly I don't even know 2 or 3 of those players.

Belew is the most versatile and my favorite from the list, though I enjoy George Benson very much for his smooth style.

Lots of good ones there, but none in my top tier. I trew out a first vote for Chet Atkins, who I wouldn't expect to get much traction on this site.

Not to worry, there are still another 90 guitar heroes to come yet. Wink

I was hoping my guitar hero Ritchie Blackmore would win this first of ten polls, but he's already fallen well below Adrian Belew in the poll. Smile

You're not the only one. I didn't know three of those guitar players either, even though I posted the poll. Tongue
 
Would it help if I put the names of the bands they're in beside their names?

Belew is innovative but overall I have to go for Beck, I'd give my right arm to be able to play guitar like that.

It's good to see Chet Atkins and George Benson picking up a vote each amongst the rock guitar players.

None are top tier for me, but at least I can vote for Ritchie Blackmore here.
