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

Jimi and Jeff Beck would certainly be on my list as well as Mateo Mancuso. I know he is very young but incredible talent and technically one of the bright stars on the horizon. Oh and don’t forget Alan Holdsworth-one of my all time favorites. I think we need to mention some classical guitarists as well. Segovia, John Williams, Julian Bream and many others in this genre.  One more here-Joe Pass.
