A Few Notable Omissions?

The Guitarists of the Decade issue [January 2020] was quite a mix of players and styles. That being said, some omissions I noticed were Gretchen Menn, John 5 and Zakk Wylde. But props for the “Head Cuttin’ Duel” transcription! In closing, regarding the Tonal Recall section, it might be better served to pick a song in the issue to focus on for the feature. Thanks for doing a great job.
