Segovia #1 Oh hell no.
John Williams #14 shit this list is fucked.
>Jimmy Page among the first 1000s
Terrible list

Plus for the playing abilities including technique, creativity, versatility, musicaldepth & expression both in composing & performing, live energy and improv skills, and originality.
NOTE: This is a list of guitarists which 'includes' all musical genres. Not guitarists who 'play' all genres.
>playing, impact, legendary status, and overall importance on shaping the guitar world
seems like EVH should be in the top 5 by this criteria
Barrios was better than Segovia and Segovia knew that.
probably didn't impact guitar as a whole more than segovia though
Whoever made this list is a moron.
