Allman brothers were awesome, Dickey Betts was equally as proficient a guitarist as Duane. Rollin Stone, pffft, they probably got Madonna on there at number 58.
My vote goes to Layla, written by Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon but with that great duo with Duane Allman. It seemed to me Duane was outplaying Eric on this piece. Here is a short blurb by Rolling stone mag:
In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Allman at #2 in their list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time, second only to Jimi Hendrix.[2] His tone ...[text shortened]... ar Player.[3]
It was a terrible loss, he died on a motorcycle in 1971. One of the great ones.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieWell, I listened to time child, the guitar didn't even come in for 4 minutes, and that screechy vocal set my hair on edge, like scraping a blackboard with fingernails or maybe root canal surgery. The guitar so-called solo was just a bunch of fast riffs with no musical quality at all, just ego building finger exercises any second year guitarist from Berkelee could do. Not impressed at all. Maybe you have to be stoned.

Originally posted by sonhouseNah. Layla is a great song in either version, but its greatness is a combination of lyrics, melody, singing and guitar. It's not a guitar showcase.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou have to understand, electric guitar artistry is not how fast you can play arpeggios and such, the question is, is it MUSICAL? In that light, there are not many electric players that can match the best acoustic players. Just going yada yada yada with fingers flying as fast as you can is not MUSIC. It's finger exercises.
