This is the fifth 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 top two leaders of each of the ten polls into a face-off poll to determine the overall winner of the Top 100 guitar heroes.  I'll also enable multiple voting in the final face-off poll. Smile
 
 
I only know six of the guitarists in this poll. Confused My vote's going to Mark Knopfler this time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't know nearly half those names. Smile

Wow. None of these 10 are in my top tier. In this group, however, it was easy to drop a vote on the deceptively intricate yet wonderfully understated Mark Knopfler.

This batch's most glaring omission is the great Barney Kessel, who could outfret anyone on this list with half his fingers tied behind his back.

Agree but Holdsworth did not run away with poll #4. And Lenny Kravitz, really?

The only six guitarists I'd previously heard of in this poll are Robert Johnson, Stanley Jordan, BB King, Mark Knopfler, Paul Kossoff & Lenny Kravitz.

BB's great and all, but he's not even in my top 10 blues guitarists, let alone overall.

Mark Knopfler for his beautiful and unique restraint, BB King (who was even more amazing live at 80 years old which is one of the concert highlights in my life) and Sonny Landreth comes 3rd.

Add number 7, Shawn Lane. (and this clip isn't even close to his best)

Vote for Robert Johnson. I don't think any player from this particular list has that huge of a skillset to compete with Johnson's influence. Definitely the most legendary man here.

Robert Johnson was the original member of "the 27 club", having been the first major music artist to die at the age of 27, followed much later in the early 1970's by Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix & Janis Joplin.
