22. Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones)
The Rolling Stones’ ageless wonder isn’t that technically gifted, but his versatility and feel for the instrument is hard to match. Whether it’s rock, blues or country, Richards has pulled it off. He’s responsible for some of rock’s most memorable riffs as featured in “(I Can’t Go No) Satisfaction” and “Start Me Up.” His guitar can be a little raunchy (“Bitch”), too. The legend – and the man – live on.
