    Another top list for guitarists. They always get the limelight when everyone knows its a team effort. A band and its members need to all work together in order to make it work. No one not even the guitarist can take all the credit. I am going to keep saying that because its right. I have been in the business over 30 years and every band I have been apart of no one instrument had the spotlight. It was everyone. With that said your list has some good people on it. I cant argue with it because its your opinion. I got to see Pantera with Dimebag right before they broke up and I am glad I did. Pantera is looked down upon by a lot of people but you had to experience them in the right setting. And as much as Ride the Lightning is over played at talent shows and on YouTube its still a good song to play.
