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

I think I remember Clapton (or was it George Harrison?) praising J.J. Cale once upon a time. Naturally, I went straight to the record store and bought the guy's album. The only words I could think of after listening carefully to the record for about a week were "low wattage" and "anonymous." It wasn't long before I brought the LP to the used record store. What can I say?
