TOP 10 Most Influential Electric Guitarists Of All Time

HI everybody First of all I should say this is not the 100% perfect ranking, this ranking is totally up to me. In fact B.B. King is not better than Vai vice versa because there is no proper measurement to measure that kind of dexterity. But, I had to considered Grammy awards nomination, other international awards/nominations, popularity among people, Rolling Stones Magazine ranking, other music related magazines ranking, amount of influence to the industry/music, etc. in order to select 10 artists out of hundreds of talented artists and put a number/rank in front of each artists.
1. Jimi Hendrix
2. Jimmy Page
03. Eddie Van Halen
04. Slash
05. Eric Clapton
06. B.B. King
07. Joe Satriani
08. Stevie Ray Vaughan
09. Chuck Berry
10. Steve Vai

[ELVISVANHALEN]

Great list, but Keith should definitely be in there.

[mrXXrauf182XX]

name one Guitarists was influenced by slash . he is way overrated and for the people saying jimmy page and hendrix and eric clapton are overrated i can name you million's of guitarists all over the world influenced by them . slash is a joke.

Hendrix is great, but overrated. White man's guilt is what pushes him to the front. Don't get me wrong, I like his playing, but white mans guilt is what puts him at the top of Rolling Stones list every year.

[drdanr]

I'd say this is a pretty fair list. I couldn't take any away from it that's for sure.

Of course Jimi is the best, no one else can compare. Clapton, Page, and van Halen are vastly overrated, Vai and Vaughan should be higher on the list. Sice the category is Influentiality, Berry should be #2, ROBERT JOHNSTON #3, and John Lee Hooker should be there. B.B. King is good, but possibly overrated, and not very influential in today's music. Satriani, ho hum, just a flashy showoff, and even more so Slash. What's so influential about Parvenu Metal?

[FelicianB]

Nice vid, but NEVER refer to a list of the Rolling Stone Magazine... Those lists don't say nothing...
