    At last Zappa makes No. 1.

    Michael Schenker would have been easy

    So would Robert Fripp. Unless you got him confused with JJ Cale.

    Going against the grain here, I thought #32 was Gary Moore

    Yeah. I thought 26 was Jimmy Page.

    33 Rick Nielsen?

    I thought 33 might be Rick Nielsen too. In fact I’m still convinced it’s him over the Tom Morello suggestion further above.

    Fripp would be given away by the cold woman alongside!

    33 Rick Nielsen?

    With a Strat and no checkered guitar strap?

    All men, the easy to caricature female would be Poison Ivy.

    odd that billy gibbons didn’t make the cut, being pretty easy to caricature ‘n’ all

    I think Ry Cooder was the hardest one to get

    Other omissions in terms of recognisable guitarists):
    Prince
    Hank Marvin
    Robby Krieger
    Steve cropper
    Dimebag Darrell
    Johnny marr (if only to get his Gibson es335 in)

    Agree with some of the above

    All men, the easy to caricature female would be Poison Ivy.

    Good point. Red hair and a Strat with a slide would be Bonnie Rait but the rest all sort of morph into generic girl with guitar.
    You get the leather clad shredders and the folk girls but if I had to caricature (in a Matt Berry voice) one guitarist it would be St Vincent as her trademark guitar is so obvious.
    Courtney is probably recognisable to but how many think of her as a guitarist?
    Throw in Joan Jett with a Melody Maker and thats about it.
    Ooh no, forgot Lzzy Hale has her Explorer.
    Other than that it’s blondes in leather: Nita Strauss, Orianthi, Jennifer Batten (maybe the two handed tap would be a clue).

    I thought 26 might be Rory Gallagher?

    I mean, surely they’ve included Rory?
