But no where on that link does it indicate it is a a ranking order "in numerical order of rating " List.

just sayin'

Looks like a ranking to me. Look at guitarists 1 through 10 and then 91 through 100.

Don’t matter who compiles my list Larry, you know you’ll always be on it.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Jon.

The way I figure it, it’s simply nice to be noticed at all, in a large world filled with remarkable talent.

On the thread I posted when this was released, I think I mentioned that 24 of the names were friends of one sort or another...and I could also mention a half dozen or more that I know are just as talented as anybody on the list...but were not included.

They’ll get over it. I’m over not being included in other lists.

Kinloch Nelson. I had the pleasure of hearing him play with my head about three feet away from the guitar, absolutely amazing player. He keeps a low profile but he is an incredible player.

Definitely short on flat pickers. Besides Brian Sutton, I'd also add Billy Strings and Uwe Kruger.

I am glad to that the late Mick Dunn made it (barely) on their (very subjective) list.

Steve Howe is on their list of greatest rock guitarists - possibly because he plays a lot of electric guitar as well as acoustic.
