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

 

128x128tony1954

Great list.

I would delete Joe Bonamassa and Guthrie Govan and Slash.

All certainly competent musicians, but "too young" to be with all the other greats.

If "young guns" are included, I'll include Derek Trucks.

Glen Campbell is one of the original "wrecking crew" before the label.

 

Jose Feliciano:

George Benson

I find rock guitarists are often one trick ponies, they can shred. I would put these two greats up against anyone.
