Are you all so blind, I can't believe that no one has mentioned the greatest of them all, the man who produced the first and definitive gypsy jazz instruction video with out whom Dennis Chang would still be playing red river valley, yes the man himself

Number 1 KELLY LANCASTER....

for those who are as yet unfamiliar with this master of the fret board search ebay there might yet be a VHS version still out there.

Coming in a close second,

Number 2 Highland Park 12yo.

Number 3 Dolly Parton, anyone who can play as well as she does with those finger nails deserves a vote.

hahaa the best list i guess.. Many of you forget Jimi man! But the best touch here is Roy Buchanan. Very very talented. I never saw Pat Metheny even in my best 100.

Django
Jimi
Bireli
Roy Buchanan
Rory Gallagher Not in a specific order but Django Jimi and bireli
Robert Fripp would dominate the top 3 for me.
Pat Martino
Wes
Joe Pass
Bert Jansch

Nobody seems to have mentioned John Williams and David Russell , any reasons why? The Russell plays Barios album is one of my all time favorite solo guitar cd's .

NB NB NB !!!!!!!!

Kelly Lancaster update: this is one chance in a life time!!, after searching the internet for days I managed to find what is probabley the last Kelly Lancaster Gypsy Jazz instruction video in the world. Yes this is your opportunity not only to learn from the master himself but to own, in the comfort of your own home, a private collectors copy. Don't miss out, you know it makes sence.

I also know many people will miss out on this rare opportunity, so I have included a link to a private vid of the great man jamming on mandolin, (couldn't find a guitar clip). Kelly takes over after the first solo. Watch particularly for Kelly's stellar conclusion to the jamm, just like Hendricks at his best.

here come my ten cent:

1. Django Reinhardt
2. Baro, Sarane, Matelot, Challain Ferret
3. Bousquet
4. Tchan Tchou
5. Fapy Lafertin
6. Costa Lukacs
7. Dilermando Reis
8. Sergej Orekhov
9. Levis Adel
10. Antoine Boyer

It´s a pity that you didn´t ask for the TOP 11 Guitarists. So I would have loved to direct your attention to Tallan Noble ("T-Man") Latz.

Best regards,

funny game... let's try it

1 django
2 brouwer
3 Roland Dyens (between composers maybe the best imho)
4 Bireli
5 Paco de Lucia
6 Jimi H.
7 Chet Atkins
8 Eric Johnson (very sadly, because i don't like the genre he someway started and influenced: he owns satriani, vai and those more recent guitarists)
9 tommy emmanuel
10 nowadays i like very much the guitarists of candyrats, I may say Andy Mckee, one for them all these hybrid guitarists (before them michael hedges)
