It is hard to pinpoint one name to be the greatest guitarist in the world as these legendary guitarists had given their whole life to commit in playing guitar for thousands of hours and made millions of people to love this musical instrument.

But according to a survey, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton are on the top spots. Jimi Hendrix was famous in the 1960s where he was known for playing the electric guitar exquisitely that made his audience go party like there is no tomorrow.

He then becomes a rock legend and his guitar style cannot be unmatched by anyone. Eric Clapton, on the other hand, though also a rock legend, his music style was more on the cooler style of sound and on blues.
