Nothing to do with Hollywood gunslingers, but a Top 7 poll to determine PA members' seven greatest guitar heroes of all time. Simply list your Top 7 guitar heroes in order of preference below and then I'll assign the usual system of points to your listings:-
 
1st guitar hero - 12 points
2nd guitar hero - 8 points
3rd guitar hero - 6 points
4th guitar hero - 4 points
5th guitar hero - 3 points
6th guitar hero - 2 points
7th guitar hero - 1 point
 
Here's my Top 7 to get the poll underway:-

1. Jimi Hendrix  (12 points)
2. Eric Clapton  (8 points)
3. Carlos Santana  (6 points)
4. Ritchie Blackmore  (4 points)
5. David Gilmour  (3 points)
6. Brian May  (2 points)
7. Jimmy Page  (1 point)

Guitar Legends Concert Rock Night, including Jack Bruce, Phil Manzanera, Joe Cocker, Keith Richards, and Bob Dylan too.
