This is the continuation to the list of the 100 greatest rock guitarists ever. Eight volumes in total, its concept is a single representative track from each of the 100 guitarists, starting at #100 and finishing at numero uno.

The first volume can be found here.

Quiz #2-For a free copy of the entire 8-volume set, answer this one. Eddie Cochran wrote a song titled "Three Stars." What was it about?

Notes on the second disc
84 Eddie Cochran: He became a rockabilly star at nineteen, in 1957, and died at twenty-one. In between, his itchy, aggressive strum of fat irresistible rhythm figures was a mighty weapon that could be wielded to battle authority ("Summertime Blues"), rally the troops ("C'mon Everybody"), or summon some lovin' ("Somethin' Else").
83 Neil Young: The haunting, delicate clarity of Young's acoustic playing should not be under- estimated. But it's on electric that he has staked his claim to ragged glory. A restless experimenter, he returns without fail to simple melodies, bludgeoning chords and a savant's knack for transforming the most obvious
music into something revelatory. 82 David Gilmour: Roger Waters gave Floyd conceptual weight and lyrical depth, but Gilmour brought drama. His solos exuded a slow burn stateliness that could be soulful ("Comfortably Numb") or evoke sci-fi dreamscapes ("Echoes") first glimpsed by the man he succeeded, acid casualty Syd Barrett. 81 Derek Trucks: Trucks hit the road with his first band at age twelve. Now twenty-eight, he does double duty as guitarist with the Allman Brothers Band and leader of his own jazz-tinged band. He's a fluid slide guitarist who moves easily between Southern rock, reggae, gospel, jazz and African music. 80 Robert Quine: With a guitar style that owed as much to free jazz as it did blues and rock, Quine was the perfect choice to complement Richard Hell's intuitive street poetry in the New York punk band The Voidoids. Quine went on to make vital contributions to Lou Reed's solo masterpiece The Blue Mask and Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend. 79 Cliff Gallup: In the few months he spent as lead guitarist for Gene Vincent's Blue Caps in 1956, Gallup introduced the stylistic swagger that every rock guitarist now takes for granted. His slashing, razor-blade-in-the-ducktail assaults pushed the instrument one big step away from country picking and down the mean streets that rock 'n' roll guitar has traversed ever since. 78 Robbie Robertson: His songwriting laid the foundation for The Band's rustic soul, but his terse, poignant guitar playing was the group's most underrated weapon. The Canada-born Robertson and the rest of the Band _ then called the Hawks - backed Bob Dylan on his first electric tour in 1966, during which Dylan proclaimed him a "mathematical guitar genius."
77 Henry Vestine: Vestine's interplay with Alan Wilson's slide in Canned Heat sparked hits including "On The Road Again" and "Going Up The Country." "Sunflower," as he was called, was an early member of Zappa's Mothers and played with free-jazzman Albert Ayler.
76 Ali Farka Toure: The Malian singer and guitarist is often compared to John Lee Hooker, though that's too easy. He has clearly been influenced by rural blues, but Toure is a techinical marvel, and his delicately plucked clusters and blindingly fast runs gather influences from African rhythms to folk songs.
75 Adam Jones: In high school, Tool's Adam Jones played bass in a band with future Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello. In Tool, he combines the tuned-down chug of death metal with ominous atmospherics influenced by Rush and King Crimson. Rarely letting loose with a conventional solo, Jones prefers riffing in 15/8 time.
