Let's finish up the Rolling Stone 100 Greatest Guitarists.
Chuck Berry - "Johnny B. Goode"
#6 Chuck Berry. So influential.
Robert Johnson - "Crossroad"
#5 Robert Johnson. Not called the king of the Delta Blues for nothin'.
Eric Clapton - "Get Read"
#4 Eric Clapton. Going with something from 461 Ocean Boulevard.
BB King - "Lucille"
#3 BB King. Another early great so no arguing. Great restaurant too.
Allman Brothers Band - "Statesboro Blues"
#2 Duane Allman. Hopefully he's on this version.
Jimi Hendrix Experience - "Foxy Lady"
#1 Jimi Hendrix. No surprise here. Going with side 1, track 1 of first album.
I'll throw in some guitar players here and there that I thought would make the list.
Helmet - "Unsung"
Paige Hamilton. Probably too small a body of work.
Public Enemy - "You're Gonna' Get Yours"
Another first album, first song of side 1.
Slayer - "Raining Blood"
Going with another Rick Rubin production--Kerry King is likely another near miss.
Pantera - "Walk"
Dimebag Darrell is the top guitarist's on Guitar World's list of 100 greatest heavy metal guitarists to not make Rolling Stone's list.
Grim Reaper - "See You in Hell"
The band's rated #100.
Running count: 398 songs for 2011. Probably more later.
