[Leomaz]

No chet Atkins, Leo kotke or John Fahey ?

Some jerk from Aerosmith gets rated over those three?

No Robert Johnson and he literally sold his soul to the devil...

I love Robert Johnson... the box set that is out is amazing.

Leo Kottke ...check out his song "Watermelon." Really great stuff.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

In all seriousness, @Leomaz has given us 70 names and not one of them is Pete Townshend.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

In fact, I am the first person to mention Pete's name.

On Oct. 15, a song Jimmy Page recorded in 1974 with Keith Richards that has
still never been released. The song was called "Scarlet," and it
featured both Jimmy and Keith on guitar, with Keith providing vocals.
It also featured Ric Grech, formerly of Traffic, on bass.

According to an interview with Page in 1975, the track sounded like
it could have been recorded by Bob Dylan and the Band. "It sounded
very similar in style and mood to Blonde on Blonde tracks," he said,
comparing it to the 1966 album that included "Rainy Day Women #12 and
35" and "Most Likely You'll Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine."

Page said the time spent with Richards was "great, really good. We
stayed up all night and went down to Island Studios where Keith put
some reggae guitars over one section. I just put some solos on it,
but it was eight in the morning of the next day before I did that."

Some sources mention two other musicians on the track, one being
pianist Ian Stewart and the other being a drummer. In addition to
being the Rolling Stones' mentor, Stewart was a special guest on Led
Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll" and the namesake of "Boogie With Stu." As
for who played the drums on "Scarlet," Page said in 1975 that he
couldn't remember. Some sources point to Bruce Rowland, who was
between bands at the time of the recording. He had just completed a
project with Ronnie Lane & Slim Chance and was soon to join up with
Fairport Convention.

Page thought the recording of "Scarlet" might eventually be used for
the B-side of a Rolling Stones single, but this did not come to be.
One year after the track was recorded, there was a rumor that Page
had recorded a solo album. Rolling Stone writer Cameron Crowe asked
Page whether it was true, and the guitarist explained that there was
no solo album in the works. "Chalk that off to Keith Richards' sense
of humor," he told the young reporter. "He took the tapes to
Switzerland, and someone found out about them. Keith told people that
it was a track from my album. I don't need to do a solo album, and
neither does anybody else in the band [Led Zeppelin]," he
continued. "The chemistry is such that there's nobody in the
background who's so frustrated that he has to bring out his own LP

This list can easily be added to reach more than the 100 listed. We all have our favorite players, in many different genres of music. I could have added plenty more jazz, country, fusion, flamenco, etc etc guitarist to the list. The best part is we can all enjoy a bit of discussion and debate on the subject.

what’s your point, besides the one on top of yer head
But he is always above Mick Taylor and Derek trucks.

 

[Omeletpants]

Example of Page's mediocrity. Plays solo on Cocker's famous Bye Bye Blackbird. Clapton would have done better

Virtually no polls over the last 50 years that rate Page over Clapton
