whatever...
It's impossible for anyone to list 5 of their favorite guitarists in order of their talent level... and have 10 random guitar players agree. IMPOSSIBLE. That's why I interpret a list of 100 "greatest" guitarists of all time as a list in no particular order... "greatest" can mean a wide range of things... inspirational, inovative, talented, technical, creative, fastest.... etc... etc... So don't read anything into it and don't get offended by a list that doesn't list your favorite guitar player... just take it as it is.
