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

Fun topic. So many greats above. I don't think I saw Ricky Wilson from the B-52's mentioned. Extremely underrated. Also, +1 for Johnny Marr (The Smiths) -- so melodic. And I may have missed Marc Bolan (T-Rex) being mentioned. 

Agree on music streaming and discovery. I'll throw on some Rory Gallagher later. :-)

Frank Zappa, Prince, Robert Fripp, Buddy Miller, Mark Knoffler, Billy Springs, other usual suspects.

Lately I have been listening to Eddie Roberts. Started with The New Mastersounds and other collaborations. Jazz, funk. Very well produced and recorded.
