I explained that there would be some missing, but this is my thread. You may use Jimmy Page in your thread, man.

I used the ones I know best. I am sorry, but I am not a big Zep fan. :-X

He was both a guitarist and a bass player.
Steve Howe, Trevor Rabin, and Bill Bruford were primary Yes guitarists.

i liked chris squire's bass work (for a pick player); i wasn't aware that he played guitar.

i mean most bass players diddle with guitar but i wasn't aware he did it seriously...

He was mostly on bass, but yes, he did do guitar work.

Another axe-man ppl have asked about is Brian May.
I chose not to include him, because there are those rare few who need no rating.
Plus...I didn't think of him until after I created the rating roster. :-[
