Grammy Award records
The record for the most Grammy Awards won in a lifetime is held by Georg Solti, a Hungarian-British conductor who conducted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for twenty-two years. He has won a total of 31 competitive Grammy Awards out of 74 nominations and was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996.
Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance
As of 2011, Jeff Beck holds the records for the most wins, with six. Sting has received three awards, twice as a member of The Police -- although he had no part in the band's "Behind My Camel", the 1982 award winner which he did not write and refused to play on.
