If you're gonna talk Rock and Roll, and particularly guitar players, here is a group of guys that need to be included in the discussion. From the screaming guitar of Eddie Van Halen, to the heavy riffs and powerful playing of Angus Young's Gibson SG, to the roots of the blues with B.B. King & lucille. It is likely that anyone playing guitar today has been influenced in one way or another by someone on this page. "I saw all the women and I figured that looked good. I was horny. I got a guitar off my brother and started playing anything.” - Angus Young
