What about John Petrucci of Dream Theater OR Neal Schon of Journey those two Guys are F**KING AWESOME!!!

I don't care much for you at all and your posts suck, but I have to agree with you here 100%. All these people naming others that haven't been out 2-3 years. Not the legends. Later, QD.

SRV played a 6 string guitar tuned down to Eb

What you are thinking of is the string gauge he played. He used a set that ranged from a low E at .058 to .012 at the high E. So when a lot of people say he "played 12 strings" they are talking about the gauge of the strings. Which is a pretty amazing feat in and of itself because all those prog-metal guys like Satriani and Vai are using .008's and .009's

I agree about Keith Richards making the guitar suit him. If you look at the tab for "Wild Horses", there are about 6 different guitar tracks with 6 different tunings used. He is most famous for the "open G" tuning that uses only 5 strings, eleminating the high E.

I'm also amazed nobody mentioned Jack White.

And there hasn't been a single country player mentioned either. Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, Richard Bennett, James Burton, Duane Eddy, etc.
