Amen to that!

Electric or acoustic, he is the best.

From the article.

Note: These are listed in no order of honor, but simply as they come to me; these guitarists are all worth hearing, and this isn’t the kind of music that inspires cutting-contest type competition.

Not numbering the subjects probably would have worked better.

my favorite guitarists

bill nelson
doug gillard
james walbourne
richard thompson
lindsay buckingham
steve howe

i love the sound tommy keene gets & henneman too

and jerry from 1972-77

you know who blew me away when i saw him live was karl wallinger -- always liked world party but i had no idea the guy was such a brilliant player

spencer destroyed me at the hoboken show. as inventive as anybody i've seen

and my favorite obscure guitar god -- zachary smith, formerly of the loud family. god-like

and whoever played guitar on the Star Room Boys record This World Just Won't Leave You Alone

and Buddy Miller

and those who pay on time.

GOod call on Buddy Miller, he was the other guy I thought of besides Travis and Dallas Good ( The Sadies)

How about Will Kimbrough? I see his name on the credits of a lot of CDs.

I've had the pleasure of standing behind Luther AND Derek's amps while they played.
They're both fan-fucking-tastic, but, Luther's got more "rock" in him.
I dig Luther.
Derek's kinda "far-out fusiony" a lot of the time.
He punches you in the brain, Luther aims for the balls...

Derek Trucks is right up there with Luther in this "new" category.

Prob my fave, waaaay underrated IMO

Gibson covered their conflict of interest ass with Nels Kline, and Luther Perkins.
Speaking of Luthers, Luther Dickinson is my favorite "new" guitarist.
Guitarist that isn't 50+ years old.
The intensity of Angus Young, the accuracy of a laser beam, with a SLIDE!!!
Try THAT, I dare ya...

Yes, I DID notice most, if not ALL of that list, are regular Gibson users.
My favorite guitarist of all time is Richard Thompson.
The rest are all lesser, so, I don't bother to place them in order.

Whoa wait, is it a conflict of interest if all these guitarists have played, or currently do play Gibson guitars? is this list all-inclusive, or is it skewed and littered with product-placement and backhanded advertising?
What I’m asking is, is this some BULLSHIT?

Either way, Creston should publish a “best of” list, posthaste!
Why not?
