I think the guys who put this list up have really confused fame for skills. With all due respect, I can't see how Harrison got his # 11. Just for being a Beatle? Of Johnny Ramone #28...
As far as George Harrison goes I honestly believe he is probably the most underrated of all the greats that ever came out of the U.K.! Harrison was the definition of what a true lead player is in a band setting, the guy always came up with the perfect part for the song. He also was not a blues based player which gave him a very unique and melodic style of soloing. Just listen to the solo on Till There Was You with its jazzy lines and broken arpeggios, and try to find someone else doing something similar in 63. Also his slide work was simply sublime!
LOL--I have my name on the package too and I'm not on there either??!!??? Maybe next month they will come out with the top billion guitarists and I'll make the cut along with all the obvious omissions.
Yeah, it's pretty funny when I go into GC and let them know that I have my name on a limited run of Super Slinky String packs - they just look at me, they don't know what to say (lol,lol,lol). Then I say, "now go grab me an EBMM guitar and plug it in for me".
