THE RESULTS OF THE TG READERS’ POLL REVEALED!
It’s easy as pie making a huge, long list of great guitarists. It’s di cult as all hell to pare them back to just 100 players, even when you’ve narrowed your choices down to one genre –which is exactly what we did back in February. We chose 100 of our favourite blues guitarists and created a poll for the ne readers of guitarworld.com to vote for their favourites. And vote they did –in their masses. With over 25,000 responses logged, this was a biggie! Now, the results are in. Every vote has been counted and here you’ll nd a countdown of the nal positions from 100 to 11. The top 10? Just turn the page…
