Since we definitely didn't agree with Rolling Stone Magazine's Top 10 albums or songs of all time, I figured for fun we could move to one last questionable Rolling Stone List. This time we will look at their list of the GREATEST GUITARIST OF ALL-TIME.
Alright, so here we will play the game to determine the BEST song in the Rolling Stone Top 10.
You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 2 days I remove the two (2) songs with the most votes. We will then move on to Round 3.

To say that Mike is a better guitar player than Stone would be an absurd statement.
Writing is certainly a factor, but it isn't the primary one in my opinion. You can be a guitarist without ever writing a song, but you can't be a guitarist by composing on paper.
For me, the ability to do BOTH is requisite for GOAT status. If you can't shred, and pick, and write masterful and evocative melodies, you haven't come anywhere close to mastering the instrument.
*Edit
Anybody else never seen a theorbo before? Pretty sweet.
This guy's pretty talented, it makes me think of the people on this list and who among them could learn (in a reasonably short amount of time) to play like this, and who's songs among them this guy could learn to play in the same reasonable short period.
If they really dug deep to find the best then the list would be populated with people practically nobody has ever heard of, and that would be bad business lol
He's definitely insanely talented. I'm not very well-versed, but I have seen him in 2 different classical trios that were fantastic and one jazz number that I pretty much hated, but I really don't go for jazz much.
Billy will go down as one of the very best stringers of his generation, that's for sure.

Just Breathe is a nice little number.
A guy most have never heard of, the King of New Orleans Slide/Stomp Guitar. Mr Mooney - lucky enough to have seen him and hung out with him several times at private gigs over the last decade or so.
