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.

Irish65. Clapton is the ultimate blues guitarist. There was an album out in the sixties called Clapton,Beck,Page.
A cut called "Tribute to Elmore " by Clapton is a blues masterpiece. Good luck finding the album. I was a teen in the sixties and was into Clapton big time. He was hot. He was bigger than Hendrix. Jimi was great with effects and feedback, but he avoided jamming with other guitarists like the plague. Hendrixs' biggest weakness was spontaneous
improvising. When Hendrix went on stage with other guitarist's, he would fly into his own thing and wouldn't
blend in. His intent was to overide to avoid improvising.
Clapton was the Grand Master of improvising. You really need to spend a lot of time to hear the best blues guitar ever, Clapton, and listen to his works between 1965 and 1968. There are many albums of blues work from Clapton from
that time that would knock you out of your sit, but those albums are hard to find. Check out John Mayall and the Blues Breakers with Clapton from the sixties, a masterpiece. Clapton took blues and advanced it to a whole new level, intergrating blues with hard rock themes. Clapton intergrated blues with the structures
of heavy metal and hard rock, which he invented, so it was
an easy ride for Hendrix and others to ride on his coat tails of what he pioneered.

"MY PERSONAL OPINION".." ERIC CLAPTON IS THE NUMBER ONE ROCK GUITARIST OF ALL TIME". B.B. KING..1987. In August 1968..Eric Clapton's band Cream and their blues album "Wheels of Fire" was number one in sales on the charts in the U.S..no other rock/blues guitarist in the sixties had a number one album..not even Hendrix..during Cream's run from July 1966 to November 1968 they sold fifteen million albums..Hendrix
up until his death in 1970 sold eight million albums..nuff said..Hendrix NEVER HAD A NUMBER ONE ALBUM DURING HIS LIFE TIME..CLAPTON IS KING..which is why the Beatles idolized him and had him play lead guitar on two tracks of the White Album.."While my Guitar Gently Wheeps"..and "Yer Blues"..I saw Hendrix live in Sept. '68 and Clapton twice..in 1970 with Blind Faith and 1978 on his Slow Hand tour..Eric is Beethoven of the guitar..everyone else falls below....The live track on the Wheels of Fire album called "Spoonful" recorded at the Winterland Auditorium in San Francisico in February 1968..is the greatest blues guitar piece of the entire 20th Century and of all time..its a monumental masterpiece..can't touch it..
