I couldn't decide on the Santana and Robin Trower one, so I sat it out. It looks like I will be sitting this one out also. Man, these are getting tough. There is no way I could choose one over the other on this one.

I did look at the results and Alex Lifeson is killing Niel Schon. Probably because he is more popular. I'm not sure what the final for Santana and Robin Trower was.

[edit]

They have the previous days results below the current poll - Santana beat Trower. Probably because he is more popular. They should just change the poll to the most popular guitar player of all time. That would clear up some confusion.

I've been wondering that since the White Stripes came out. Not that he doesn't incredibly suck by himself, but you throw in that half-out-of-time drummer of his and its bedlam.

As it looks, B.B. King is winning.

Kerry King is a classic metal guitarist....however, I don't think he holds a candle to Mark Morton.

I'm not much of a lamb of god or slayer fan, so I chose the one I am familiar with.

Poll: The Greatest Guitarist of All Time, Round 1 — Robert Johnson Vs. Hubert Sumlin

http://www.guitarworld.com/poll-greates ... ert-sumlin

This is a very tough choice too. I saw Hubert Sumlin in Johnstown a few years back, and he was awesome. Robert Johnson was a better overall entertainer and writer but I think Hubert is a better blues guitarist.

KK lost by a lot yesterday.

I am sitting this one out. Robert Johnson will win because he is the father of blues and more known.

I chose Petrucci also. The video clip is from G3. How many string guitar was that that Tosin was playing? It was either a 7 or 8. I couldn't tell.

http://www.guitarworld.com/poll-greates ... i-jon-roth

Way too hard to choose, but I voted for Uli because Randy was leading by 87% to 13% and Uli is way too great for something like that.
