Guitar player poll: UPDATE

November

We’ve gotten over 100 players nominated for the Listening Room readers poll of greatest guitar players – and we’re looking for more.

As we told you a few days ago, we’re doing a less-than-scientific list of our readers’ choices for the greatest guitar players of all time. We’re not asking for rankings: Every guitar player mentioned on your list counts as one vote. The player with the most votes at the end gets ranked by the Listening Room, and we’ll also give you a list of runners-up and honorable mentions based on your votes.

Anyway, send in your lists of 5 to 10 guitar players, in no particular order, and we’ll tally them up. Don’t worry about genre, past or present, alive or dead: They’re all guitar players in our book.

We’ll post the results on Thursday, and we’ll follow up with other polls.

We’ll take entries in the comments section below, on Twitter (https://twitter.com/jfitzgibbon or http://twitter.com/dianacostello) or you can emai jfitzgib@lohud.com or dcostello@lohud.com.

Great lists, and a few from my own list: John McLaughlin, Gary Moore and Jeff Beck. I’m also happy to see Schenker make an appearance, as well as Peter Green.
Thanks, guys. Keep it coming.
