I'm not gonna go on for pages on why this list is so damn bad(and it would take pages) because no one would read it. Just let me leave it at this---
this Rolling Stone list almost has to be a joke. IT'S THAT BAD!!!
Here's a look(please try not to snicker )

Let's start at #250... Andy Summers. Really? You mean there are 249 better players than Andy Summers. Absurd.
I bet any of us could could go for an hour listing people that would have to be on this list of the all-time greats. But instead of going on for an hour, I'll leave it up to the posters in this thread to come up with some notable and clearly ridiculous omissions.
I'll get it started and you guys roll with it. But how in anyone's hell do you leave off guys like Neil Schon, Peter Frampton , Tommy Emmanuel, Tom Scholz, Lindsey Buckingham, Glenn Campbell, Roy Clark, Davey Johnstone, Terry Kath.
And, yes, Neil Young is a great singer/songwriter but at #30 of the best guitarists, three spots higher than Brian May. I love Neil but the dude played one note solos. Joni Mitchell was an awesome folk singer. One of the best. But the 9th greatest guitarist? Nancy Wilson(Heart) is way too low at #104 .
Okay... I've got to move on from this for awhile. I'm getting quite bent out of shape thinking about the absurdity of this list. So, what I want to hear from you savants of musical knowledge is this: Who would you have on your top list of guitarists that Rolling Stone omitted? Also, who would be much higher on your list than RS had on its list?
