Tuck Andress didn't even merit honorable mention? That precludes this list from validity as far as I'm concerned.
Regarding woman guitarists, I would've liked to see Ann Wilson represent. Susan Tedeschi makes my list. I would have to find room for blueser Deborah Coleman as well. They should word up on Elizabeth Cotten, too. Many people are of the opinion that classical guitarist Sharon Isbin is the finest guitarist in the world, bar none. Charo is a world-class flamenco stylist...don't let the coochie coochie fool you. Then, arguably, there's DiFranco, Raitt, Colvin... And where's Muriel Andersen, the excellent fingerpicker who Kakki, Paz, Alison, Donna and I had the good fortune of seeing in Anaheim during NAMM? She's considered one of the planet's best in that genre. And obviously, Joni should be much higher on the list, IMO. -Julius
