In the past 100 years, there have been numerous guitarists who have changed the world – and now Total Guitar wants you to decide who is the most influential of all.
We’re talking about the trailblazers and innovators who revolutionised the art of guitar playing – from the early blues and rock ’n’ roll pioneers to the stars of the rock era and beyond.
We’ve drawn up a list of 101 game-changing guitarists to choose from. And if your personal favourite isn’t listed, simply nominate them in the box marked ‘Other’. We promise to count every vote!
The poll ends on Sunday, 22 October, and the results will be revealed in the December issue of Total Guitar (issue 378) – on sale 17 November.
