Who Made the World’s Greatest Guitarists List?

While Willie Nelson, Buddy Holly and Chet Atkins are on Rolling Stone’s new list of the 100 greatest guitarists, some obvious guitar wizards are missing. Not included are Glen Campbell, Vince Gill, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban.

Rolling Stone limits the list to 100 pickers. And the guitar gods, and a few goddesses, are from all styles of music. Others who made it on the list include Joe Walsh, Roger McGuinn, Billy Gibbons, Duane Eddy, Bonnie Raitt, Les Paul, Duane Allman, Derek Trucks and Carl Perkins. Rolling Stone says the top guitarist of all time was Jimi Hendrix.

Georgia Music Hall Of Fame Packs It In

Some of the top names in country music are in the Georgia Hall of Fame including Alan Jackson, Chet Atkins, Travis Tritt, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood and many others. But it’ll be tough for anyone to visit unless it’s saved. The Telegraph of Macon reports the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Macon is shutting down June 12th. Money from the state of Georgia is ending and the hall’s board of directors decided against asking for money from the public to keep it open. Memorabilia from the hall will be moved to the University of Georgia but it won’t be on display.
