Before I picked Atkins, Benson was the only other one I was seriously considering. |

Out of this first 10, Beck seals it for me. Benson next, then Adrian, then Blackmore.

It's in alphabetical order. So he won't be in the next 9. Bonamassa is a "disciple" of Barre. See here:

I just noticed that this is in alpha order.
Greats I love who didn't make the list (those in bold, I would have placed at the top of this list): John Abercrombe Jan Akkerman Tuck Andress George Barnes Martin Barre Peter Bernstein Ed Bickert Tommy Bolin Lenny Breau Jimmy Bruno Buckethead Michael Burks Kenny Burrell Charlie Byrd Eric Clapton Vivian Campbell

^^ Why can't you believe you're saying that? ^^ I was hoping Ritchie Blackmore was going to receive at least one more vote in the poll to draw level with Adrian Belew of King Crimson before I post Part 2 of the guitar heroes poll, but I promise I'll post Part 2 tomorrow whatever happens.

This poll is going to be a close-run thing:- Jeff Beck has just drawn level with Adrian Belew on six votes each with Ritchie Blackmore close behind on five votes. Just one more vote could swing it either way.

Also only realized then, that the late, great Stuart Adamson (Skids, Big Country) is also missing from this alphabetical list of guitar heroes. Once described by John Peel as the "new Hendrix"; Adamson was certainly an absolute genius at his craft.

I was a big fan of The Skids too once upon a time, although I haven't listened to them in a long long time, until now that is. |
