I finally found Rolling Stone's list of the '100 greatest guitarists' of all time =D
There were a few surprises though, at number 12 is Mr. Kurt cobain, although he is one my favourite musicians but i think he was a better song-writer then guitarist. And... and i could'nt find Slash on the list, its either they totally forgot about him or i was too lazy too find him in the list =P.
David Gilmour was too far down the list for me , at no.85 !!

Many people criticized the list, saying that there were only two female guitarists on the list (Joan Jett and Joni Mitchell). For me the guitar is made for men, its a man's tool. I have actually never seen a decent female guitarist.

Here's the link

and here's are the top ten guitarists. [no surprises here]

1.Jimi Hendrix
2.Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers Band
3.B.B. King
4.Eric Clapton
5.Robert Johnson
6.Chuck Berry
7.Stevie Ray Vaughan
8.Ry Cooder
9.Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin
10.Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones

This is fucked up. Django should be in the top 10.

damn right!

i had never heard of 'Django' (funny name)
but a little look in Wikepedia tells me that he should be somewhere near the Top 10.

Thanks for pointing that out man!
