Got this after searching the net extensively. Think its a gud list for all the guitar fans. Just thought I will share it with all.
Major contributors in the actual top 100 are - Hendrix (6), Clapton(5), Page(4), Van Halen(4), Gilmour(3), Hammet (3), Rhoads(2), Slash(2), Cobain(2), Satriani(2). List shortened to 50 to include in word count.
I think Sweet child is ranked pretty low.
