Ranked: Best Guitarists of All-Time

Pete Townsend

Pete Townsend is not the most known guitar player, but his role in rock and roll is undeniable. As a visionary, his guitar playing was rhythmic, exciting, and aggressive. His body movements even seem to flow in and out with the guitar, as though it were just an extension of his body. Though his solos are few in number, he practically invented the power cord.

“My Generation” and “Summertime Blues” are some of the best examples of his chaotic and precise playing. Other songs like “Substitute” show his jazz inspiration.
