-Back toward the end of April, SPORTFAN 01 started a thread entitled "Greatest Guitarist of all times". I am not sure what I might be getting myself into here, but I thought it would be very interesting to take that idea and format it into a run-off in the same way that DDriver80, YankeeLuvinGator, and The Bong Show had previously done with the "greatest" albums, bands, and frontmen, respectively. I will also add that while space restrictions limited the title, please feel free to post any and all guitarists that you enjoy, whether they be considered "rock & roll", jazz, jazz/fusion, blues, folk, country, classical, or whatever- any and all idioms are welcomed- I want this to be as inclusive a vote as possible. The rules are very simple- please name your top 10 favorite axe-men (or women) in no particular order. The voting for the first round will conclude at 1am, Japan Standard Time, Tuesday, June 3rd (12pm EDT, Monday, June 2nd). I will then tally the top 16 vote getters, and seed them accordingly for the second round. I will add that while some good-natured sparring is fine and indeed welcomed, any malicious personal attacks will not be tolerated & will be promptly removed- let's all have some fun with this! I also wish to thank my bretheren (and sisteren) on RockFlorida's "What Are You Listening To?" thread, without who's support and inspiration, I would not have done this- you guys know who you are...
