#40 Joni Mitchell
Rolling Stones magazine may have ranked this iconic guitarist no.75 in their top guitarist’s list, although, she earned a much higher spot on this list because she had an incredibly unique method of tuning her guitar to expose varying sounds from each chord. Joni Mitchell was born on November the 7th in 1943 in Canada and even though she is better known as Joni Mitchell, her full name is Roberta Joan Anderson.

Joni made a name for herself writing songs using the same chords, although, in a different tuning. She has written one song that consists of 50 different variation, which is undeniably impressive! “I Had A King,” “Night In The City,” and “Nathan La Franeer” are some of her most celebrated tracks.
#39 Buddy Guy
George Guy, famously known as Buddy Guy, was born on the 30th of July, 1936, in Louisiana. Buddy was apparently kicked out of the house by his family as a result of all the noise, which seemed to follow him around right through his career as his music style was reportedly viewed as “just a bunch of noise” by several record executives.

Luckily, Buddy Guy’s blues style eventually became quite popular. What’s more, he ultimately became an inspiration to a few of the greatest guitarists of all time. Some of his most influential songs include “First Time I Met The Blues” and “Stone Crazy.”
