Now comes a poll about "best"/"favourite" guitarists. Rather than flame about the idea, maybe we could talk about what criteria we use to judge musical proficiency on that family of instruments we generically call the guitar. After all, this newsgroup is supposed to deal with music, and moreover, most people, including guitar-naive people would admit that there are slight differences in the styles of Julian Bream, Paco de Lucia, Leo Kottke, and Jeff Beck...all superb "guitarists".
