There was no debate on putting Stevie Salas on the list for some of NDN country's best guitarists. Salas has been placed on several Top 50 guitarists of all time lists, he's huge in Europe and Asia. He has toured in private jets and rocked stadiums alongside Rod Stewart, was fired by Andy Taylor of Duran Duran, and played with Mick Jagger on Saturday Night Live.
And he is the nicest, most down-to-earth rockstar I have ever met. Salas regularly visits Winnipeg for Aboriginal Music Week and the Aboriginal Peoples' Choice Music Awards, as well as to shoot his tv show Arbor Live which is currently in it's third season. In 2009, Salas was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Native American Music Awards.
Let us know if you think Stevie deserves to be on this list.
