Voted the eighth best guitarist in the last 20 years - uk.

Well if she's #8 certainly this guy must be higher on the list.

20 posts in and we still don't know who this is. It's like a game of Guess Who but without any moustaches.

Rankings, legit or not, are kind of dumb, but I'll always have respect for someone who writes their own stuff, inspires younger musicians, and chooses to do good things with their public platform. Good for her.

Surely not Colonel Mustard. Sorry, wrong game.

It's a good thing she's not dating John Mayer anymore, else the internet would explode.

Easily within range to say more people have bought and learned to play guitar because of her than because of Jeff Beck.
So just maybe one of those people will become the next Jeff Beck.
If you’re a guitarist and people come to see you play your wood and wire guitars in 2024 write her a thank you letter. She is a significant reason electric guitar oriented pop music has made a resurgence.

Post is the svelte one.

She can play. Pretty well, I might add. Shouldn't be on that list, tho.

That would qualify for a ranking in a “most influential” list, but when you are advertising “best guitarist” and you put her above Keith Urban and John 5, it’s pretty easy to see the game being played.

But I don’t like Keith Urban as much. So it’s ok with me to apply subjectivity to “best” lists.

Who ran the poll? I’m not gonna get hung up and pissy-pantsed over some mainstream pop poll.

 

['64 Tele]

I don’t know who that is either

Tight end for Kansas City Chiefs.

First select your conspiracy theory level, from beginner to illuminati.

She sold more albums......he got a gig hosting SNL.
Win-win...

Post Malone has more facial tattoos, but Jelly Roll has a greater BMI.

Most of the world is musically illiterate and news flash - they don't care. Lists are popularity contests and don't have much to do with talent.

So that's who she is!
