Sorry if I offened anyone, that was not my intention at all. I thought the topic was 100 greatest guitarist not favorite. To me greatest is based on skills, body of work, and how they influenced music. In the 50's was there anyone who changed guitar playing more than chuck berry, or in the 60's who changed the sound of guitar more than jimi hendrix and tony iommi. Personal preferences is just a popularity contest that tend to be biased and sometimes prejudice, often over looking the true merits of some while hypeing whats popular.
Just a thought
