Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Guitarist (Top 20)
By José Reyes
Yes I know, I know what you're
asking, how can you just pick 20 out of so many outstanding guitar players, well I
feel this is the best way. This is the best way, for me, to choose and I know
I will leave a few guitar players out but I'm sure you will agree with 95%of the 20 that I pick. For each selection I make, there will be a song placed by
the picture that I feel would reflect and act as a good example for my pick.
This is my personal picks and I based it on quality of sound and talent of
course. I tried to be as honest as I can with myself. This was very tough for me but I am very confident with my list and
nobody will change my mind, I hope. Down on the bottom I will leave a comment
section where anyone who would love to comment will be able to do so. Please
listen to all my selected songs and enjoy! If you disagree with me and I'm
expecting you will (not), it's alright with me. If I missed anybody, go ahead
and surprise me. Sit back, crank up the volume and have fun!
| Special honors to
the man who started it all because if it wasn't for him, there would not be
any inspiration for my top 20 guitarist. He integrated the "Blues"
into "Rock n'
Roll" and is truly the King. Chuck Berry: "The King"
"Johnny B Goode" "No Particular Place to Go" "Get Your Kicks on Route 66" Hail Hail Rock n' Roll!!
