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

Many have mentioned Jimmy Page. Let’s not forget John Paul Jones who was the quiet man but nevertheless exceptionally talented and penned some remarkable Zep songs (at one point, perhaps an entire album).

Jimmy would have been lost without JPJ.

His subsequent solo releases are tremendous.
