WHERE DOES SLASH RANK? A young music fan posed what I found to be an interesting question to me yesterday: where would you place Slash on the list of the greatest guitar players?

I answered with essentially a variant on the "big hall" vs. "small hall" discussions that we often have here regarding the Baseball HOF and the R&RHOF. In other words, I don't think Slash is considered a "Willie Mays", but he would likely rank higher than a "Catfish Hunter." I'd welcome your thoughts.

A related question: would it be fair to call Slash a virtuoso?

For your listening pleasure.

For a list of the honors Slash has received, look for "honors" here.
