Who Are the ‘Big 4′ of Rock Guitar?

America has had dozens of Presidents, but only four have their faces carved into the side of a mountain in South Dakota. Similarly, some very big and important names will be regrettably but unavoidably excluded from any ranking of the "Big 4" rock guitar players.
This list attempts to identify the four guitar players who have made the biggest impact on the evolution of rock music, on their peers and on future generations of guitar players. With apologies to Tony Iommi, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Pete Townshend and many, many others, here are the 'Big 4' of Rock Guitar:

Jimi Hendrix
Although he only released four albums of original material (three studio, one live) before his untimely death in 1970, Hendrix's unique blend of rock, blues, soul and psychedelia instantly changed the way many of his peers played, and continues to inspire and influence countless generations of rock musicians. The demand for his music is so strong that nearly every studio session or live concert of his that was recorded and preserved has been released as part of one of the dozens of posthumous Hendrix releases.

Jimmy Page
