A while ago I say a smiliar thing which was "the 100 greatest guitar players".

1. It didn't mention any subject, like the 100 greatest jazz or rock, just the greatest.

2. Greatest guitar player generally refers to technique, else it would be the 100 greatest musicians.

Obviously clapton and hendrix were right next to the top, I've forgotten who was no 1, most likely clapton actually, which is bull****. (sorry to use foul language, couldn't think of a better word)

Satriani and Vai etc werent even on the list, neither was Yngwie, Petrucci, Eric Johnson or anyone like that. I think Kirk Hammet was about 5 places in front of Kurt Cobain..... These lists are always the kind of list someone with no knowledge of guitarists at all would write, like if you ask some pop fanatic who the best guitarist in the world is they're most likely to say clapton, or hendrix, or brian may. All great in their own respect, but I wouldn't say anywhere near the best.
