    • ]]>     The results of the BBC6 Music Axe Factor Poll have been announced (BBC Music listeners/readers were asked to vote for their top guitarist from the last 30 years). More than 30,000 votes were cast by listeners on the BBC6 Music website and the final tally is as follows:

    1. John Frusciante – Red Hot Chili Peppers
    2. Slash – Guns n’ Roses
    3. Matt Bellamy – Muse
    4. Johnny Marr – The Smiths
    5. Tom Morello – Rage Against The Machine
    6. Kirk Hammett – Metallica
    7. Jonny Greenwood – Radiohead
    8. Prince
    9. Jack White – White Stripes
    10. Peter Buck – REM
    11. The Edge – U2
    12. Thurston Moore
    13. John Squire
    14. Josh Homme
    15. Graham Coxon
    16. Omar Rodriguez Lopez
    17. James Dean Bradfield
    18. Jeff Buckley
    19. Noel Gallagher
    20. Kurt Cobain

    So John Frusciante, former blues/rock/funk guitarist with the Red Hot Chili Peppers has come out top. We’re also very pleased to see Slash and Johnny Marr on the list – Johnny Marr will be the focus of one of our Guitar Influences quick fact files (coming soon).

    Remember to sign the petition protesting the BBC’s decision to shut down BBC6 Music and other sites here.
