Some of the Best Guitarists Ever
by Charlie Walker
Almost every school child will have those wistful dreams of being a rock and roll God and emulating their musical icons that sit immortalized in posters on their bedroom walls while they're young. They argue about whom the undisputed king of the guitar is when they're infants and it's more often than not a debate that continues well into adulthood. Who are the most popular, well known and influential though that regularly make it to the top of these lists?
Well no list would be complete without mentioning the legendary Eric Clapton. Some of his most famous hits include Cocaine and Layla and he formed a part of many bands that dominated the musical mainstream for numerous years. His ride, as with many high profile guitarists was by no means smooth but his legacy is most definitely and undeniably his wonderful music.
In his illustrious career he won seventeen Grammy awards, was the only artist to be conducted not once, not twice but three times into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was awarded a CBE at Buckingham Palace in recognition of his services to music. Another notable achievement was his founding of the Crossroads Centre, a medical facility for recovering substance abusers; Clapton was a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. His brilliance has never been diminished though and he's widely perceived as one of the most influential guitarists of all time.
Another name which is impossible to miss off any of these lists is Jimi Hendrix. With his group The Jimi Hendrix Experience he achieved world dominance, a feat made even more impressive considering he was only on the mainstream for a total of four years before his tragic demise. In addition to his music and rather more unfortunately so he was also a substance abuser, known for his partying antics; drinking, drugs and alcoholism. His death was the cause of a lot of controversy too with the suspicious reports and changing stories that surrounded it, his success and reputation as one of the world's best electric guitarists though is as of yet, unsurpassed.
Slash is the last legend on our list, the iconic former lead front man of the hard rock band Guns N Roses he's also released a number of solo albums. Accolades include being inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame and being featured in numerous coveted lists earning him critical acclaim. Guns N Roses' first album sold a staggering 28 million copies worldwide.
