Rick N. Backer Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 So in the "unpopular opinions" thread Lucas made the observation that Eddie Van Halen belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of Rock Guitar. And I agree. In fact, here is my Mt. Rushmore of rock guitar: Eddie Van Halen Tony Iommi Jimi Hendrix Saul Hudson (Slash) I wrestled with Jimmy Page, Angus Young, Randy Rhoads and Keith Richards.

ILSnwdog Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 SRVJimmi HendrixEVHDavid Gilmour Honorable mention - Chuck Berry. He was the first guitar man. He set the table for Hendrix, Page, and Clapton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 No Clapton? I like Clapton's music, but, to be honest, I've never been terribly impressed with him as a guitarist. I know tons of people are though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
