As a guitar player for 50 years, my standard for "greatness" is measured by how many other musicians play your stuff. Jeff Beck wins hands down. Nobody tries to emulate his playing.
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
