Re: So I did one myself...

I agree with Lee...Joe, you should be at or near the top of your list. cool

If no one has already, I'd also like to add Bryan Lee, Tab Benoit and Albert Cummings.

Re: So I did one myself...

popular topic with newcomers as well, good job Joe. Welcome to the forum Azurah, LeaM, Gary b, and Stephonix. You can formally introduce yourself if you want, tell us a little about yourself, your music background and maybe how you found Joe in the Introductions section, if you want.
One more and I'll let it rest. I think Andy Summers should have a place in the 100. Another one of those subjective choices, you would have to be a serious Police fan to have him included. I was and still am.

I'm on page1 post 11.. Already mentioned him.

Actually I will be at a meet'n'greet show with Rik Emmett and Dave Dunlop on Dec9; starting to get excited about that but can't convience anyone to go with me.
So I'll do it solo.

I actually noticed that omission and immediately thought of you... Rik is a master, he should definitely be in the top 100!

But while we were glad to see Joe give John Petrucci his due, there were some others he left out that we think should be in there:

Derek Trucks
Jonny Lang
Carlos Santana
Mato (Indigenous)

And Joe, granted, it's  hard to put your own name on that list, and I'm sure you want to give Hendrix, Clapton, Page, etc. their due, but let's be real. No poster on this site has any business posting their list of top guitarists if Joe Bonamassa isn't on it!

Rik and Joe have been omitted from lists for so many years they will call the National Inquirer to check its validity when they finally do. LOL

Here is some classic Rik Emmett for everyone to enjoy.   

This is how to end a show...

hesitate to correct the big guy but Mick Jones was lead guitarist with The Clash (Joe Strummer rhythm), it was Steve Jones that was/is the guitarist with the Sex Pistols. - Great call on him though.

Ahhh no! I love Seasick Steve. While not really technically gifted, he still plays raw, mean, dirty blues slide as well as anyone else. And there aren't many people on the planet cooler than Seasick Steve  cool

Another two that would be on my list - Matt Schofield and Simon McBride. Two up-and-coming bluesy Brits who can melt those frets with the best of 'em...

Guitars - Gibson VOS R8 LP, Custom built Telecaster w/Bare Knuckle and Duncan pickups, 60's/70's Kay Tulip  (for slide)
Amps n ting -1966 Fender Deluxe Reverb, 1961 Gibson GA30 Invader, Fredric Effects Golden Eagle, Wampler Faux Analog Echo

Yep, 100 probably isn't enough - how about Nils Lofgren and Sonny Landreth.....and actually Bruce Springsteen can play some very fine lead guitar when he wants too.....wish he'd play it more often...and Little Steven! Tony TS McPhee is another which springs to mind too!

Re: So I did one myself...

For me there are a couple of omissions from Joe's list - maybe including him - but the best thing is there are some guys on there I need to check out which will be fun.
