Stephen Stills
According to Neil Young, his bandmate is “a musical genius.” Stephen Still is unquestionably one of the most well-known singer-songwriters of his time, but he may also be the most underappreciated guitarist. He is not only a well-known guitarist but a fantastic multi-instrumentalist as well. Stills has had success as a solo performer and as a member of two successful bands. The Rolling Stones list of “The Greatest Guitarists of All Time” includes him as well.
