Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green

I saw Peter Green live in 1969 with the original Fleetwood Mac. Clapton is far better. The best live guitar performance in history, is Clapton with Cream on the "Wheels of Fire" album recored live in February 1968 at the Winterland Auditorium in San Francisco. The eighteen
minute live track "Spoonful" is Clapton's greatest work. It is a milestone of technique. It is the greatest and most complex spontaneous improvising ever between a bass guitar and a lead guitar, blending a fusion of blues, heavy
metal and hard rock. Clapton was the inventor of hard rock
and heavy metal form. When Hendrix went to England in October 1966, he outright copied Clapton and the Cream, who were the first group in history to form a power trio with two bass drums in the drum kit, double stacking Marshall amps, and Clapton producing the first high powered sound with his Gibson SG. Clapton was the ultimate pioneer that everyone followed. His group the Cream sold 35
million albums in the 29 months they were together. Hendrix
during the same period sold 8 million albums. No one can touch Clapton, he is Beethoven of the guitar.

Audiozen,
Clapton may be very good but there are plenty who are more fluid on the guitar, including Peter Green. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Clapton is a better song writer than most with a terrific voice, which in addition to his outstanding guitar playing capabilities sets him apart from most.

Cody, By the way, Clapton is NOT God, he's just a quality entertainer.

Never heard Green but I have a couple of complaints:
No mention of Robert Cray?
And not enough about Robert Johnson!
I didn't think you could talk about blues without mentioning these fellas!
I would cast my vote for BB also (saw him live and it was a beautiful thing)!

I think Clapton is overrated.There is some very good blues players out there,,

Other than spending excessive amounts of money on audio equipment, I have been fasinated with the blues for the last 30 years.
If you have never heard of Anson Fundenberg I suggest you check him out.
Fantastic blues guitarist!
Buddy Guy would be high on the list.
I can't even see Clapton from such a high perch as these true bluesmen.
Clapton sliced his bologna thicker than these guys.

Rumor has it, Muddy Waters sliced his bologna so thin it only had 1 side to it!
