The Best Rock Guitarists Who Ever Lived

Paul Simon (Simon and Garfunkel)

Originally a member of the Hall of Fame inductee band “Simon and Garfunkel,” Paul Simon took a different approach with his solo music. Channeling folk, country, swing, funk, blues, jazz, and sometimes even punk, Paul Simon has a legendary play style. His style is built around a consistent strumming pattern and matching minors and majors per phrase in succession to drive his songs.
