The American magazine Rolling Stone has just made its ranking of the 10 best guitarists in history. A jury forms of musical criticisms and guitarists including Lenny Kravitz and Bryan May of the Quenn group statue on the question of what were the best guitarists in the history of rock music.
It is the famous Jimi Hendrix who was thus designated best guitarist in history. The author of Foxy Lady and Purple Haze wins in front of a host of guitarists who are among the best known.
Here is the top ten according to Rolling Stone Magazine:
1. Jimi Hendrix
2. Éric Clapton
3. Jimmy Page
4. Keith Richards
5. Jeff Beck
6. BB King
7. Chuck Berry
8. Eddie Van Halen
9. Duanne Almann
10. Pete Townshend
The ranking of the best guitarists will be published in full this Friday in a special edition of Rolling Stone Magazine. It can be consulted from this date on the website of the journal www.rollingstone.com.
As rock music lovers are numerous in Tunisia as well as guitarists elsewhere, this info circulating today on American social networks should be widely relayed in us and around the world.
The news will not fail to challenge the most prominent rockers of our radios like Noureddine Chaouch, Nessim Bouslama or Mondher Zid.
A little personal note to finish! I would have personally seen among the top ten several other guitarists like Alvin Lee de Ten Years After, Carlos Santana, Buddy Guy or George Benson and Ritchie Blackmore. I am sure that our readers and musicians also have their point of view on the issue.
Hat therefore to Jimi Hendrix and your vinyls to find his most famous riffs and gimmicks!
