Favourite Guitarists

This discussion was inspired by the recent article about our 3 favourite female singers.

Because it was impossible for me to pick just three female vocalists ( I love women singers), I will not put a limit as to how many you wish to vote for. I limited myself to a dozen. However, if you list more that 50 I will seriously question your decision making skills.

In no particular order, except for Rory at number one.

1. Rory Gallagher

2. Peter Green

3. Roy Buchanan

4. Joe Bonamassa

5. David Gimour

6. Slash

7. Johnny Winter

8. Duane Allman

9. Stevie Ray Vaughn

10. Mark Knopfler

11. Glen Campbell

12. Guthrie Govan

Guys, how are we missing George Harrison, Derrin Nauenforf and PRINCE. Has anyone seen his rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" from the R&RHOF? Love Mick Ronson and Johnny Thunders. How about Joe Perry & Neil Geraldo (underrated) too. Sure Nancy Wilson, Pete Townsend & Hendrix and all the above listed. Just soooo many. Yes to Hans Theessink, Rory Gallegher, Ronnie Wood. Could run in this all day.

If he’s already been mentioned, my apologies.

Phil Keaggy (was with Glass Harp, a legend around my hometown)

SRV and Jimmy of course

EVH of course

I also have to say I saw Chris Stapleton over the summer and was very, very impressed. (not necessarily my cupa, but the man can really play)
