I've seen many "best of" polls come through the net, and at their best they
can be mildly informative; at their worst, well, you know as well as I.
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".
