The recent success of CBS' reality tv show Survivor gave classic rock guide Patty Williams a great idea; why not spawn a series of Survivor-type events for various About.com sites? Patty's Classic Rock Eliminator has been a big success, and, in it's shadow, Guitar at About.com presents Guitar Survivor.

After 19 weeks of voting, and over 20,000 ballots, the first Guitar Survivor champion has been crowned. To learn who the winner was, visit the Winner's Circle.


NOTE: For the last week of the contest, voting will change to reflect which guitarist you'd like to see crowned Guitar Survivor champion. To repeat, VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE GUITARIST THIS WEEK.

David Gilmour
Eric Clapton


Results

Voting for each week's Guitar Survivor will end on Tuesday, December 26, 2000, at 9am EST.

The concept for Guitar Survivor simple; 35 living musicians who could be considered "rock guitarists" (or who have at least played on rock albums) have been selected as candidates for the "Best Living Guitarist" crown. Each week, visitors choose the candidate from the list they consider to be the least worthy of that honor. At the end of the week, the two guitarists with the most votes will be eliminated from the contest. This will continue until only three guitarists remain. At this point, guitarists will be eliminated at a rate of once per week for the remaining two weeks of the contest. The remaining guitarist will win the distinction of being voted "Best Living Guitarist" by Guitar at About.com visitors.
