15 Guitar Players In 15 Minutes

The Core Belief

My pal Kiko Jones is at it again folks. This time my challenge was to name my top 15 guitar players in 15 minutes. A staggering proposition and I was forced to leave several names off (Jimi Hendrix, Kirk Hammett, Wes Montgomery, John Fahey) but I’m happy and shocked at some of the selections.

My list:

Richard Thompson

Robert Quine

Guitar Slim

Hubert Sumlin

BB King

Peter Green

Philip “Snakefinger” Lithman

Greg Ginn

Richard Lloyd

Sandy Bull

Chuck Berry

Ron Asheton

Fred “Sonic” Smith/Wayne Kramer

Eddie Hazel

Lou Reed/Sterling Morrison

Send me your list and I’ll post it. Just remember the rules: take no more than 15 minutes to come up with your top 15.
