Neither Clapton or Green. This is probably heresy, but I think the best blues guitar playing I have heard in the last ten years has got to be John Mayer on Clapton's Guitar Festival DVD. OMG!!! I don't know who or what he was channeling at that moment, but it is unreal.
I always liked all the King's. Especially Albert. Have to agree that T-Bone Walker has great tone and timing, not only on solos but also on vocals. After a few cold ones, almost anybody playing on 6th Street in Austin sounds pretty good as they do their various Stevie Ray Vaughn extrapolations.
If I had to pick one though, I would have to say Jimi Hendrix because I have never heard anybody else who was at one with their instrument like that dude.
