Favourite Guitarists

This discussion was inspired by the recent article about our 3 favourite female singers.

Because it was impossible for me to pick just three female vocalists ( I love women singers), I will not put a limit as to how many you wish to vote for. I limited myself to a dozen. However, if you list more that 50 I will seriously question your decision making skills.

In no particular order, except for Rory at number one.

1. Rory Gallagher

2. Peter Green

3. Roy Buchanan

4. Joe Bonamassa

5. David Gimour

6. Slash

7. Johnny Winter

8. Duane Allman

9. Stevie Ray Vaughn

10. Mark Knopfler

11. Glen Campbell

12. Guthrie Govan

If he’s already been mentioned, my apologies.

Phil Keaggy (was with Glass Harp, a legend around my hometown)

SRV and Jimmy of course

EVH of course

I also have to say I saw Chris Stapleton over the summer and was very, very impressed. (not necessarily my cupa, but the man can really play)

The greatest jazz guitarist who ever lived.

The late great Wes Montgomery.

Wow, i just scanned all 4 “pages” of contributors to this great thread and did not see a single person mention jazz guitarist Chris Standring!

i love his artistry, plus he writes the music for all his songs (including orchestral instruments that accompany several of his songs). 
i saw him live in nashville and he was tremendous. 
Am i truly alone recognizing and enjoying his talent?

A number of years ago I followed a link in an on line article titled The 10 Best Guitar Players You’ve Never Heard of. I found a guy named Jon Gomm. He’s fantastic! Do a little google search on his name.
