canuckguitarist Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 from guitar player magazine... The war cries are resounding all over the world's communities of real guitar players. Rolling Stone's ill-conceived September 18th, 2003 issue lauding the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" smacked us right in our preamp tubes with glaring omissions (no Chet Atkins? No Django? No Charlie Christian?), dunderheaded "ratings," and obvious pop-culture concessions. So Guitar Player is calling upon all true believers to right this particular wrong by participating in a reader's poll that explicitly spotlights the opinions of actual players who love and respect the history of the guitar Here is what you have to do... 1. Write down your top 10 favourite of all time (a master list will be compiled from these entries) 2. Choose one player to compete for "Best Young-Gun", a player between the ages of 13 and 25 (He/she can be on your top 10 list) 3. Choose one player to compete for "Most Ferocious Female Guitarist", A woman. (She can be on your top 10 list too) 4. Choose one player to compete for "Living Legend", an old school guitar god. (This guy can also be on your top 10 list) 5. Choose one player to compete for "Icon", a player who has passed away but still blows your mind when you listen to them (yes, they can all be on your top 10 list!) Put your picks in an email and send these votes to guitplyr@musicplayer.com and write "Reader's Poll" in your subject line. The results will be published in the March 2004 issue of Guitar Player Get your votes in today! Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
