Top 10 Guitarists of All Time

Tony Iommi

Black Sabbath - Can genuinely be counted as as an original pioneers of Heavy metal - and he did all of that with only 2 fingers (his middle 2 digits sliced off at 17). Sabbath.

Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix is widely regarded as the greatest guitar player in history not just because he had considerable blues chops but also because of his wild creativity with his instrument. The man was capable of churning out sounds that no one had ever heard before, and his mastery over the electric guitar has still never been matched. Hendrix often got lumped in with the late 60s hippie movement, but he was really a thing unto himself, a freight train that tore through the music scene with unrelenting sonic power.

Robert Johnson

We owe blues as we know it to this man

Kurt Cobain

You wish you wrote Nevermind. The world would be very different without Nirvana

Mark Knopfler

No pick legend Money For Nothing Sultans Of Swing and scored the Princess Bride Soundtrack. More proof that the Brits are the best

Paul Gilbert

Racer X and Mr Big axeman... seriously quick, some epic chops and can play with an electric drill
