Envision Radio Networks' "Chop Shop" guitar show has announced "The Chop Shop's Top 100 Most Complete Guitar Players of All Time", a newly published list of the all-time greatest guitar players. Program host Steve Black (WRIF-FM) assembled a panel of music industry experts to help choose the list featuring 100 of the most revered guitar players crossing multiple genres. Rock legend Eric Clapton, English rock guitarist Jeff Beck, blues legend Muddy Waters, PEARL JAM guitarist Mike McCready, and Dave Murray and Adrian Smith of IRON MAIDEN are a few of the highlights on "The Chop Shop's Top 100 Most Complete Guitar Players of All Time". Each guitarist was graded in nine areas including technical ability, influence on the music industry, songwriting, signature sound, longevity, and four other categories. The complete list with video and judging criteria is available now at www.chopshopradio.com.
"Chop Shop" host Steve Black comments, "I love the complete angle we took with this list, and the depth of the details we used during the grading process." Black continues, "This is the best top 100 list I've ever seen."
The "Chop Shop" and "Chop Shop Classic" feature weekly updates on bands and tours, web exclusive content, and special guests all while playing 10 songs an hour. Both versions are two hours in length and contain two feature interviews as well as the exclusive "Chop Shop Hall of Fame" feature, where such guests as Ted Nugent, Brian May, Leslie West, and hundreds others pay tribute to guitar legends Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Angus Young, Slash and more.

WRIF is a Detroit Rock station. and have been around for years and years. So I get the whole Jimmy Page #1 thing even though I dont agree. They would never turn their back on the old guys. However, it reall just seems that they mixed in any guitarist they could think of, and some are not really influential guitarists at all. I have never met anyone who told me they picked up the guitar because they heard John Fogerty. CCR wrote some good songs, but lets be real. Randy Rhoads is also way to low on this list. I would say on the influential guitarist list, he should be top five, since he has inspired so many people on that list. One day I am going to make my own list, and everyone can criticize it. But I would bet I would be much more correct than these Bozos

Kurt Cobain??? Please the guy played chords, and wrote nonsensical lyrics. He wasnt even in the best Seatlte band of the era, he only gets all the credit because he's dead. I still think his wife killed him by the way, but thats neither here nor there. He was not and is not an influential complete guitar player.
By the way the best seattle band of that era was Alice In Chains

I know they can't include everybody, but Frank Gambale is just SCARY!!!
I saw him in concert in LA, and he was just exceptional. And what a dear sweat man! Got to talk to him after the show and what a nice guy - Australian too!
Search for him on Youtube and prepare to be blown away, taste, style, speed, songwriting - he is the whole package!
