Top 50 Acoustic Guitarists

Interesting how nylon and steel string guitars were lumped together. I doubt most classical or flamenco guitarists would identify themselves as playing "acoustic guitar."

#21. Bob Dylan

#38. Al DiMeola

Pretty much sums up that list for me. Garbage.

I'd like to nominate these two for the "anything with strings on it" category.

John McFee (Doobie Bros.)

Roy Clark (if you have to ask.....)

I don't follow the acoustic scene very closely, but if we are lumping all styles into one pile Carlos Montoya should have been in there somewhere. I remember being amazed as a kid when digging thru my folks vinyl and coming across a few of his records.

+1 on Roy Clark.....along with Carlos, my folks always knew to look in my room first for his records.

Yeah. If they're going to mention Segovia, they should also mention Montoya and Narciso Yepes, and maybe Julian Bream and/or Christopher Parkening as well.

Narciso Yepes

Happy to see Kaki King near the top. She's is a total inspiration (and she plays Hamers when she's playing electric)

Flamenco is not well represented. Paco De Lucia at 27? No Carlos Montoya or Sabicas. Gimme a fricken break. And McLaughlin at 30? what the hell is Dylan even doing on that list? Songwriter list sure... guitar player list. Nuh uh.
