Top Ten reasons why Eddie Van Halen is NOT the worlds greatest guitar player!

I have always been into music, and musicians who are not a part of the mainstream of music (if it is part of pop culture, I usually hate it, like reality T.V. ugh...gag)- some of the greatest guitar gods of all time fall into this category, so here is my ALTERNATIVE list of the greatest guitarists who ever lived...
#10 Steve Morse

what can you say about the legendary guitar player of the Dixie Dreggs, a band which birthed yet another legendary player (drummer) Rod Morgenstein, now with Winger...he plays so flawlessly, and effortlessly, that he refuses to use the most common technique known as legato, (a finger trick that makes you sound like you are playing faster than you actually are) opting instead to pick every single note individually...witness TUMENI NOTES...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEnmpVFD2W0

Here is another link to the incredible Steve Morse- this one is 8 minutes long, but it is some of the most creative guitar playing I have ever heard, and worth EVERY second of your time...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-CC2jOVNSI
