The Prog Archives 'Greatest' Prog Guitarists

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Here's how this thread works:

Everyone will make an ordered list of who they think are the greatest guitarists in prog.  Everyone defines greatness in their own way, whether it be a combination of technical skill or influence or whatnot.  It will go from one to ten, for example:

1: Steve Hackett

2: Chuck Schuldiner

3: Steve Howe

4: David Gilmour

5: John McLaughlin

6: Al Di Meola

7: Mikael Akerfeldt 

8: Andrew Latimer

9: Robert Fripp

10: Aaron Turner

10th place: 75 points

9th place: 85 points

8th place: 95 points 

7th place: 105 points

6th place: 115 points

etc etc

You may only vote ONCE.

Once the thread slows down I will compile all the points.
