Enough With The “Greatest/Ranked” Guitar Player Lists Already!


I’m so exceedingly exhausted of the thousands of lists I see on social media ranking who the greatest guitarists of all-time are. I won’t name the very popular publication that “ranked” Brian May as #1 aka “the greatest ever”. That ranking alone was enough for me to vomit and luckily I didn’t. My point is these clickbait lists are completely biased, whether compiled by a single person or group of people.

I’m not saying Brian May is a terrible guitarist; in fact he would probably be in my personal list of 100 greatest guitarists somewhere. Just not at #1 for the love of God. The only good that these lists generate are debate and discussion, I suppose many would say. End of my opinion. To conclude, without posting a nonessential list, the guitarist that is my #1 all-time is Jimi Hendrix and that resonates more historical than picking Brian May.

Metal be thy name – Stone.

    I’m with you, Jimi Hendrix would be my number one but Brian might not even crack my top ten. He would be in the top 20 though.

    These “best guitarist” things are a waste of time. Everyone knows it’s C.C. DeVille. No one can pick up that guitar and talk to you like he can.
