Kinda surprised no Iommis or Hammetts!
― i’m still stanning (morrisp), Monday, 4 June 2018 03:51 (five years ago) link
I think Shakey said Iommi in the thread that prompted this thread. and I'd pick Hetfield over Hammett.

Shocked at how often Gilmour is mentioned.
― flappy bird, Monday, 4 June 2018 05:48 (five years ago) link
he's great but I'm shocked he's one of the most listed guitarists here, if not the most listed?
Forcing myself to a strict "no dead people" list:
Mary HalvorsonVernon ReidBill OrcuttMike ScheidtSteffen Basho-Junghans
List subject to change on an hourly basis. I met the future of guitar recently, but she's not there yet so will brag at the proper moment.

from the Blues era I think Mississippi Fred McDowell has to be mentioned on this thread.

Honestly this thread bums me out. Even choosing 5 I was well aware I left out Mississippi John hurt, Guthrie, dude from melt banana etc
