The list is okay, adding Johnny Winter, Paul Kossoff, Jimmy Page, B. B. King, Luther Allison.

No Duane?

Adding Buck Dharma and Cyril Jordan. maybe Lou Reed.

No Peter Green?

eventually this thread will become a list of EVERY guitarist from the 60's/70's.

It used to be just HENDRIX, JEFF BECK, JIMMY PAGE and ERIC CLAPTON for me and many other USA punk kids where I was growing up, then Jerry Garcia took the trippers, Clapton fizzled (sold) out, Bonzo took Page's engine to the grave. Jeff Beck is the only one left in that group but Hendrix music still shows me stuff all these years later.

Keith wasn't on the list because the Stones were a unit which couldn't be viewed as anything but the sum of it's parts. Before IORR and TimeisOnOurSide I never knew who was playing what.

In reality, the more obscure and delightful artists, many listed above, didn't come till after the prerequisite force feeding stopped. lol peace

Apart from the obvious names...

60's:
Hank Marvin
Dick Dale
Bo Winberg

70:s
Ron Asheton
Andy Latimer
Kenny Håkansson

"Ron Asheton"
aka the MOST important guitarist of the 70's? After Hendrix's flourishing fretboard genius RA brought guitar palying to sth raw primitive and totally exciting.

Mick Ronson!

I was gonna say Reggie Mantle, based on pure rock and roll attitude alone, but there seems to be some question as to whether Reggie played guitar or bass. Any thoughts on this? Here's what Wikipedia has to say on the matter:

The Archies play a variety of contemporary popular music, consistent with the era in which the comic is drawn. They seem to have a preference for rock and roll, however.
Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge later also joined the group. Every member sings vocals, with Jughead handling the bass voice on a few tracks. Though their singing voices were soft and appropriate for pop vocals, their speaking voices are much different. The roles the teens played in the fictional band were:
Archie: lead vocals/ lead guitar
Reggie: rhythm guitar / bass guitar (see below)
Jughead: drums
Betty: tambourine
Veronica: organ
Hot Dog: mascot / conductor
The Archies are sometimes jokingly compared to The Doors, as they also had no bass player, but there is some controversy as to whether Reggie played bass or not. In most drawings, his guitar looks identical to Archie's, making him the band's second (or co-lead) guitarist. However, a number of drawings (including the one above) clearly show the instrument to have four tuning keys, the most common bass design. Six-string bass guitars do exist, however, and the Archies' recordings regularly featured a bass player. In more than one comic strip, Reggie is described as playing bass (however, this is not necessarily canon, as storylines and hobbies/activities in the Archie world change from story to story). Finally, in the liner notes for 2008's The Archies Christmas Album, Reggie is listed as the bass guitarist.
One distribution mode for the Archies' music was cereal boxes: a cardboard record was embossed directly into the back of a box such that the record could be cut out and played on a turntable (although their music was also available on standard issue LPs and 45s). Though the group no longer appears in animation, they are still frequently used in stories published by Archie Comics.

Hey StonesTod, your a funny guy. You here to amuse us!

My head actually core dumped after entering Ronnie (too many names). I can't believe I missed Jimmy Page, Peter Frampton (great in the Pie), Leslie West, Duane Allman and maybe 20 others...

Just needs more sorting or it will grow too long to be practical.

Who said Rock is Dead!

If you're trying to make a statement here, it would be better to list your favorite guitarists from the last couple of years. If you can't name any, then yes, rock is dead.

The future of rock guitar is in good hands .... well .... maybe not hands, exactly.

Why is it impossible, I already made it

I actually included Jerry - On a good night (of which there were many), almost nobody IMHO could come close..

Your right, sorry, I missed that you had Jerry on your list. I still stand behind the Bloomfield claim though!
