how do you choose the three greatest guitarists of all time.
why three increasingly obscure bluesmen rock and roll virtuosos above al lothers
segovia?
fernando sor
charlie patton
and a long lists of famous and obscure strummers and pluckers
what about eddie van halen, steve vai, bucket head ad infinitum!
why is it so important to impose this little hierarchy
consider the other 60's dynamos
beck, page, peter green, mick taylor, townshend, davies, hilton valentine, clappo and a host of other titans
everybody likes the music they like.no question.
a musician knows how music is made and likes for a set of reasons; tune, melody, rhythm, harmony, complexity/simplicity, musicality and personal taste.
a musicologist will study not only the music but the circumstances under which it is made and that adds to the spice.
