    The 100 best guitarists

    Here is the ultimate list of the 100 best guitarists in the world, published by the COSIREX Community. It is the amazing list of the greatest guitarists in the world of all times. The list changes every year for the reason that new famous artists reach the best of guitarists sky.

    Originally, the leaderboard was heavily influenced by the big Rolling Stone magazine, and the general as well as professional assessments were more and more divergent, making a COSIREX guitarist's own list of favorites inevitable.

    Feel free to join the Cosirex community to vote your guitarists in the leader board.Both the quantity and the quality and competence of the voters influence the ratings and thus the result. Do not hesitate to tell the world if you miss a person on the list of the greatest guitarists of all time.

    Have a lot of fun...

    That's why I gave Joe Satriani a place of honor here in music forum with at least 5 music videos. And his best friend from teenage years Steve Vai has also a place of honor.
    Both together are even seen in Legends of guitar a complete concert where other great guitarists are playing like Brian May, and more.

    I see Youtube kills one video after another. The Legends of guitars concert in total length is not able to watch anymore, in YT only with spanish commentary and less sound quality. :musik:

    Great guitarist and musicians, but lots of famous guitarists are missing on this list.
    I want Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. John Hurts and Gary Moore.
    So many incredible guitarists who are dead, colored guitarists from the Mississippi deltaof the early years.
    So this list of the best guitarists of the world is only a small range of reality.
    Where are the female guitarists? Which guitarists are missing too?
    Others will follow as soon as possible.
    Thx

    The best guitarist in the world and of all time are certainly more than these pitiful 100-strong list.
    Question about the allegedly biggest and best guitarists:
    Where are the guitarists of classical music, Spanish music, Greek music, Indian music? How is the gigantic range of folk music, regional music, cultural music, religious music reflected?
    Another question-monument:
    Where are the best female guitarists in the world, the greatest female guitarists of all time, ever, ever, ever?

    How honest and meaningful could ever be a list of the best guitarists in the world?

    :hae::pfeif::super::musik::radio:

    Let's go! Please refresh the list to more transparency and meaningfulness.
    Even better: Create an epochal list of the best guitar musicians of all time.
    Good things take time, especially common, in this case the competent opinions of many people must be included.
    Only then could be legitimately asserted to have a real good list of the best guitarists in the world. Males and females may be safely handled separately.
