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

Unless I missed it, no one has mentioned the criminally underrated Chris Cain.  If you are a fan of great electric blues guitar (not to mention first rate vocals and hip compositions) check him out on Tidal, Spotify, etc… Albert King loved him.

Terry Kath (Chicago) gets my vote. Even Hendrix said he was better than himself.

Eddie Van Halen would definitely be in my top five.
