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

 Roy Buchanan was my favorite several years back. His version of "Hey Joe" in my humble opinion was better than Hendrix's.I noticed Eric Clapton didn't make your list. 

I have to agree wit everyone here as "favorite guitarists"  like someone else above been playing the guitar for 50 plus years.  To me Danny Gatton was the top.  Al DiMeola, Winters, Duane, Eric Johnson, Roy, Beck, SRV, Howe, Green, Jan Ackerman, god just so many great players, some technically advanced, some just played beautiful music.  Too many blues guitarists to name beginning with Robert Johnson.  I played with Coryell and Carlton way way back in the day.  I sure miss those days.

Thanks for reminding me of all the memories.

 

 

Rich Robinson is a phenomenal guitar player...    Jason Isbell , another great guitarist...
