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

my favorite: Gabor Szabo

And in no particular order:

Grant Green

Philip Catherine

John McLaughlin

John Fahey

Mark Knopfler

John Scofield

And the most underrated:

Robbie Robertson

Have to agree about JJ Cale. Very under rated and a style all his own.

Saw him at the QE Theatre here in Vancouver back in June of 1975.

Or didn't see him, as he sat on a tall stool with a big, wide brimmed hat pulled down over his face for the whole show.

A fine performance.

Insightful interview with Clapton who was intrigued by JJ Cale’s music, technique and lifestyle.
