Finally began working on my list and goddam, this is hard.
I spent a good part of my 20's obsessing over guitar playing, practicing and looking up to a number of guitar players...But my musical tastes have always been kind of all over the place. With the singers countdown, I could leave off a couple of opera or italian/Czech prog singers to spare Kev the trouble of "just another entry I 've never heard of who appears on one list only" and still submit a list that was true to my actual tastes. But I can't do that now. It seems like half of my list are gonna be jazz-fusion, flamenco, gypsy jazz and classical guitar players...with the other half being some of the prog/metal guitar gods who are well loved at this forum...
Really curious about how much diversity we will get...it might be even more extreme than with singers thread.
