They recently conducted a survey to determine The 10 Best Guitarist of the Past 30 Years . . . and former RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS guitarist JOHN FRUSCIANTE came out on top. (--Around 30,000 people took part in the poll.)
--SLASH came in second. Here's the complete list:
#1.) JOHN FRUSCIANTE . . . formerly of the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
#2.) SLASH . . . formerly of GUNS N' ROSES and VELVET REVOLVER
#3.) MATT BELLAMY . . . of MUSE
#4.) JOHNNY MARR . . . formerly of THE SMITHS and MODEST MOUSE
#5.) TOM MORELLO . . . of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
#6.) KIRK HAMMETT . . . of METALLICA
#7.) JONNY GREENWOOD . . . of RADIOHEAD
#8.) PRINCE
#9.) JACK WHITE . . . of the WHITE STRIPES and THE DEAD WEATHER, etc.
#10.) PETER BUCK . . . of R.E.M.
Is it just us or are we missing some COUNTRY guys on this list? Keith Urban? Brad Paisley? Buck owens? Cmawn!

I voted funny. Why? This list is an absolute joke! None of these guitarist deserve to be with exception of Tom Morello because of his creativity. Guitarist like Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, Brent Hinds, Adam Jones etc.
Well put. I wonder how much of the survey is skewed by perspective. It's obviously a popular vote of the masses. We all have our favorite performers and artists. I can't help but think that the list is more of a popularity contest, rather than an acutal reflection of real talent. Food. Thanks for the post! Good discussion.
