40 Top Guitarists on Rock 101, #40-#21

A while ago, the local classic rock station (Rock 101) asked the listeners to participate in an online poll about whom we felt should be included in a list of the top 40 guitarists of all time. Here is the bottom half of the list. I'll listen to the Legends of Classic Rock show (with Jeff Woods) next week and the week after: that way, I can make this list complete. (sorta like the Alan Cross things, but not really!)

38. Ace Frehley (Kiss)
37. Rik Emmett (Triumph)
36. Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead)

33. Steve Hackett (Genesis)
32. Peter Frampton
31. Joe Walsh (The James Gang / The Eagles)
