Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green

Thanks for link... Im always looking for good material..

Merry Christmas!

Jeff Beck..even Clapton admits he is the "man"

There are many,many really good guitarists that play in relative obscurity and an equal number of way overated players. The talent lies in not only excellent technique but real musical ideas laid down that are worth listening to. Being able to play at the speed of light doesn't necessarily mean that the guitarist is good.Slow blues really lays the player out there. Many are good at this but none that I have heard as consistently as good as Ronnie Earl.

I guess what I was trying to say in the previous post is that blazing technique with no or very few viable, tasty musical ideas is nowhere and for me unlistenable.By the way, Peter Green was and is killer but he had a 10-15 year hole in his career when, among other things, was a grave digger.

Peter Green was more true to traditional blues than Clapton is/was. Duane Allman was one of the best blues guitarists but he is know as a southern rocker, mentioned already Roy Buchanan, Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher, J. Giles (go hear his blues CD called Blues Time), T-Bone Walker, NOT Buddy Guy, Ronnie Earl (one of the best still alive today), Stevie Ray, BB King, Albert King, etc.
