    JEFF BECK. I am not going to list all my reasons… either you agree that he should be one of the top three or you don’t. Personally, my pick for the top three would be: JEFF BECK, JIMI HENDRIX, and EDDIE VAN HALEN.

    How on earth could a list like this not include John, Paul, George? I doubt any of these guys sold as many guitars as the Beatles! and in terms of inspiration I mean they really have no equal.
    That said this list is crap! why because there is no best! I've read where Jimi thought Terry Kath was the best, then i read where he thought Billy Gibbons was the best. Jeff Beck? Ritchie Blackmore? Glen Cambell? Tommy Tedesco? Chet Atkins? James Burton? Tony Iommi? And if I haven't pissed you off to the point of no return there are at least 100 other names that can get on the list.

Especially Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. These 2 guys were average on their best days. But I will give a pass to Hendrix, he deserves all the accolades people give him. There were 2 people that changed the world of guitar playing. #1 Jimi Hendrix then Edward Van Halen came out. End of discussion. Long live the King. RIP Eddie. ❤
