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

 

128x128tony1954

Eric Johnson playing hi Tribute to Jerry Reed or 12 to 12 Vibe.

Robert Fripp for mastering new standard.

 

A newcomer that had a good debut and not so interesting follow-up is Tash Sultana from Australia. She is a one-woman band.

Yeah, Rory #1, with Duanne #2, 

Doc Watson
Toy Caldwell
Terry Kath
Gary Moore
Glenn Campbell
Robin Trower
Paco DeLucia
Jan Akkerman
Lindsay Buckingham
Roy Buckhannon
Leslie West
Don Felder/Joe Walsh

And recently, Billy Strings 
 

+1 for Brian Setzer, also:

James Honeyman Scott (Pretenders)

James C. Heath (The Reverend Horton Heat)

 

Too many great and loved ones, just to add, Buck Dharma, Randy Rhoads, Paco de Lucia, and good that Gabor Szabo was mentioned.
