Back in the Savoy days, you provided us with the best guitarist list from DDD.

As I recall, you participate in putting together some of the DDD lists.

I would be interested to understand how the DDD folks determine it's time to update their lists? My understanding it the DDD Guitarist List hasn't been updated in more than 10 years.
