This was a question on another forum.

here is a poll/question for everyone. name two guitarists, who basically anyone could name. someone even non musical people would know. say for instance, if you posted a picture of santa claus and asked, "who is this". 90% of the world would know.

who would you pick?

James

Hendrix, Clapton

I'f say for sure Hendrix and Clampton as the most recognizable.
I'd take Chuck Berry and Joe Walsh or Stevie Ray Vaughan though.

Def Hendrix...I think everyone will agree with that.

I'd agree with all the names listed above.

I'd have to add BB King to the list, he's has a very recognizable look and playing style; and has been around forever.

All the players mentioned above are true great guitarist, people who have greatly advanced the craft/art of playing guitar.

But really #2 would probably to belong to a "guitarist" such as...Lennon or Elvis. They may not have blown anyone away with their chops, but they are guitarist.
