LOS 100 MEJORES GUITARRISTAS SEGÚN GUITAR WORLD

Tras la patética lista de los “100 Mejores Guitarristas” que publicó Rolling
Stone recientemente (y que situaba a Eddie Van Halen casi al final!), Guitar
World ha hecho su propia lista con un criterio mas sincero. “Esta no es una
lista que contenga a los que tocan mas rapido o con mas gusto” dice la editorial.
“Es un tributo a los grandes hombres que cagan hierro y mean navajas de acero,
y lo hacen cada vez que conectan su guitarra a un amplificador”.
