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

Don't think there is a best...just different.  Enjoy the music.

Great thread and many super selections.  Totally agree with Mark Knopfler (and that Joe Walsh is underrated). Here are two I haven't seen so far: 

-Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree

-Michael Hedges

I’ve been a terrible guitar player for over 50 years.

It took me multiple tries to master the solo/break starting at 1:40. Hats off to Carl Wilson who probably nailed it on the 1st try.

This is a good list for a select few genres…expand your music genres and you’ll expand your list….there are many many “great” guitarists and few, probably less than 50-100 “spectacular” guitarists.
