@speakeasy412 mentioned one of my favorites: Kenny Burrell. I know nothing about the technical aspects of guitar playing, and it is difficult to separate the quality of the composition from the guitarist sometimes, but Nick Drake did some magical things with a guitar. Early George Benson, when he was with CTI: The Other Side Of Abbey Road, White Rabbit, etc. Johnny Smith did not record much, and if you find any of his old LPs, they are in the "Easy Listening" bin, but he played with beautiful tone and control.
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
