20. George Harrison (The Beatles)
Never flashy or over the top, the Beatle was simply a solid guitarist. He didn’t bounce around on stage, yet managed to remain a strong presence while staring down at his hands and guitar. From the opening cords of “Day Tripper” to the bluesy “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” off the White Album, Harrison had his own share of influence on rock guitarists that followed.
