Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green

Onhwy61,

Im talking more about music itself more so than age..
I really think those people i mentioned are the blues.

Im also a big Jimmy Page fan... He was heavily influenced
from blues also... But is he a blues man? Not in my book..
Just like EC.

Bottom line personally Im glad that there are MANY
different styles and variations.. I just think some are
more truthful to the roots.

For me SRV is probably the hardest too play he played the
guitar with so much emotion... Its really the funnest to
play also..

Happy holidays to everyone!

Voodoochile, who said anything about age? I was referring to their individual guitar styles. To call Clapton "watered down" is an extreme statement. "Have You Heard" the Mayall/Clapton Beano album?

Onhwy61,

I misread your post... about the age thing.

I have never been that impressed with EC thats just my opinion. I think he is a VERY GOOD guitarist but not that
great. If you do... Then great.. Im sure you would disagree
with some of my pics and thats fine with me...

Im not sure if i have heard the Mayall/Clapton Beano album
but i will make a point to pick it up... I do have an open
mind and im not out to put anyone down. I respect most who
play the instrument because it is not an easy one... I also
respect that you have your own opinion just like me.

I just switched to new handle and i logged old one thats
why name changed! Sorry for any confusion..

Voodoochile, no hostility intended. We probable agree alot more than our exchange indicates. The Mayall/Clapton album I'm referring to is:

It's not a great album, but it contains some wonderful blues guitar playing. Particularly strong tracks are "Hideaway", "Steppin' Out" and "Have You Heard". Although it's not on the album, Mayall/Clapton also do a very strong version of "Stormy Monday Blues". You might be able to find it on one of his numerous compilations.
