Rolling Stone published its original list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists in 2011. It was compiled by a panel of musicians, mostly older classic rockers. Our new expanded list was made by the editors and writers of Rolling Stone. This one goes to 250. 

Some of my personal favorites:

175 Rory Gallagher
 75 Ritchie Blackmore
  3 Jimmy Page
  1 Jimi Hendrix
