No one merged the blues, rock and psychedelia with as much ease or wielded a guitar with as much charisma."

Former Guns N' Roses axeman Slash lands in second place because " A remarkably precise player who had to put up with more crap from his lead singers than any other guitarist on this list. Does he make the cut partially because of the hat? Yes. Yes he does."
