Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green


I know Clapton is God, but is he a better blues guitarist than Peter Green.
cody
in about 1975 Clapton's band was from Tulsa.
and sometimes they would play around town always with out Clapton.
they had a 70s smooth R@B groove.
but once in the middle of their smoothfest in cut like a knife came the fastest nastiest guitar lead you could ask for - it was Clapton standing back by the drums in the dark facing away.
Clapton had just been released from jail after being arrested for public intoxication and no ID the night before at the Tulsa airport.
i had seen him a few times but never like this- fast like Roy Bucannon but tasty like Albert king.
i seen Winter wear the cape and who i am loyal but Jimi Hendrix takes the cake.
i was fifteen and pushed up to the stage and my hands on the wood felt the vibration from hum between songs from all those big marshals and then i was blasted by the feedback like a giant monster screaming in my face.
jimi was like tiger woods or Michael Jordon with no ridged bones and seemless with the music that was not being played as much as released.
BUT... my 3 choices for recorded blues is
1. john lee hooker live at soledad prison and the track- serves me right to suffer is as dark as is gets.
2.zz top Rhythmeen from 1996 on this Billy Gibbons finally lets it go and he is the alpha .
3."johnny winter And" live.---- great balls of fire.
PLAY LOUD
Albert King. The man practically invented the "bending strings" technique. I also 2nd Jimmy D. Lane. Believe Mr. Clapton would agree that Mr. Green is one-up on him.

Use to have the same discussions in grade school. Then our prime choices were Hendrix, Clapton, J. Beck, J. Page. Interesting.

Really difficult to disagree with most of those talents mentioned above, really.
