This is it. A way to wind down the summer with my final Survivor ever and it's a big one...Guitarists. Yes folks, the instrument that every band now has to have to be successful and we're going to find out who's the greatest. This is a straight-up knock-out competition, one-on-one till the end. 1 round a day. YOU MAY NOT VOTE WITH ALTERS TO INFLUENCE THE COMPETITION!
The guitarists have been seeded 1 through 64 using the rankings coming directly from GuitarOne Magazine. #1 to 30 in their rankings were automatically in the competition. They ranked 128 guitarists and I chose 30 others from there, names who weren't in the top 30 but would be recognized by most. In these cases there will be a number with brackets behind to show the GuitarOne ranking. There are 64 in this competition in all. I also added 4 guitarists who were not in the list but are somewhat popular around here. In these cases the bracketed seed number will be represented with an "n/a". The criteria to judge the guitarists on are Chops, Versatility, Influence, Tone, Originality, Body of Work, and "The X Factor".
So without further ado, let's get it on with Round 1!
