43. Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson is a legendary figure in music, with a career spanning over six decades and close to 100 studio albums. His iconic guitar, Trigger, adorned with a unique strap and custom pickups, has been his faithful companion throughout. After years of playing, Nelson’s guitar pick has worn a hole just above the bridge, almost reaching the sound hole. His distinctive musical style blends elements of rock, blues, country, and jazz. Approaching 90 years of age, Nelson shows no signs of slowing down, continuing to captivate audiences with his live performances.

42. Joni Mitchell

When asked about Roberta Joan Anderson’s music, you might be puzzled. But mention Joni Mitchell, and you’d likely share your favorite songs of hers. Mitchell often used the same chords but varied guitar tunings in her songwriting. She once traveled with five identical Ibanez guitars, each strung with different-sized strings for specific tunings. Although she now uses a synthesizer, her guitar style remains distinctive.
