Key dates for a range of notable guitarists, bass players and guitar industry icons. These individuals, and many, many others shaped the course of modern music history.

This list is a bit of fun and not intended to be comprehensive. The odd error may also have crept in, so I wouldn’t rely on it as a piece of research material. Apologies too if I’ve missed anyone crucial…
