oldbuckster Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 JACKSONBART; You seem like the only guy on this forum that doesn't reduce a question to a bashing contest. The Rolling Stone list is just a guide of who they feel are TOP guitarist. It's a starting point to begin a debate,not an argument,and not about ONE guitarist. If everyone liked the same thing,(music, guitarist's, cars, and women) it wouldn't be much fun. I do read with interest your input in these threads. Really, these who's best questions are just a matter of personal taste, and in the end, does it really matter who is best?? NO LOVE for ESTABON, come on guys you know He's the BEST! Peace Bro.!!!
