Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green

I have a little different take on this whole subject..

I do play guitar myself (25 years)so i have MAJOR appreciation for all the artist mentioned here. The point i will make is if it wasnt for the blues (old school) Robert Johnson, Albert King Ect.. There wouldent be rock and roll as we know it. Now Eric Clapton is a very good guitar player
but he plays a "watered down" and "mutated" version of the REAL thing when he decides he's gonna play the blues. Dont
get me wrong i think EC is great but he's not a blues guy.
Its my opinion SRV did the best job of "preserving" the
blues while modernizing and speeding it up... i also have
seen both EC and SRV live and think SRV would beat EC playing behind his back. That boy could play... Hendrix
was more of a innovator. The only rock and roll guitar player i can think of that doesnt sound like he's playing
blues scales even when he is Eddie VH. Another innovator...

Robert Johnson, Albert king, BB king ect those guys were
blues artists EVERY SONG they play is the real thing.

Just my two cents...

Onhwy61,

Im talking more about music itself more so than age..
I really think those people i mentioned are the blues.

Im also a big Jimmy Page fan... He was heavily influenced
from blues also... But is he a blues man? Not in my book..
Just like EC.

Bottom line personally Im glad that there are MANY
different styles and variations.. I just think some are
more truthful to the roots.

For me SRV is probably the hardest too play he played the
guitar with so much emotion... Its really the funnest to
play also..

Happy holidays to everyone!

I just switched to new handle and i logged old one thats
why name changed! Sorry for any confusion..

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

Merry Christmas!
