One of the very best, played with a capo and had a unique tone. Would have audiences eating out of his hand. Also, how about Otis Rush? He influenced Clapton, and Page, and Bloomfield, and even Buddy Guy. The "king of the singing string" - best hand vibrato ever. Also an all-time great singer! In the late 70's I saw Clapton, who was opened for by Muddy, then went to a club and saw Otis - we were 20 feet from the stage! What a night!

I'm very happy that you included Rory Gallagher !!! He is one of my favorite guitarist of all time!! Guys, listen to Rory's "What In The World", the BBC sessions !!!! I personally would have included Skip James and Danny Kirwan in the list !! When someone thinks of the "original" Fleetwood Mac band, he thinks primarily of Peter Green, but Danny was also as good as Peter in his own way. Watch the video of "Like It This Way" Danny is incredible, his vibrato is unique and in this video he was only 19 years old.

Thom, could you do a lesson on the late great Roy Buchanan? This man I feel never got the recognition he deserved!

The whole world's got the blues right now. I did a Sunday evening blues yesterday on my channel. These days more music is needed for peace and ease of mind ! Great video take care, peace!

There cannot be any doubt in anyone's mind in the history of mankind from when the first homo sapiens made music until this very second that Stevie Ray Vaughn is indeed the best blues player that has ever lived and I saw him in 1983 in Dallas, Tx open for the Moody Blues at Reunion Arena and he blew our heads completely off. One thing you can never forget is seeing SRV playing his strat in the prime of his life.

Yes sir. And many people forget Jimmy Page was an outstanding blues guitarist!

I'm hurting so much right now and I am trying to watch something to get my mind off of the girl , and finally something that helps me feel a little better. Thank you guitar pilgrim. You have no idea how much this video means to me right now. Guess I got the blues

One of the best channels on youtube!!!

Everybody is going to want to add somebody, but I was amazed at this list. Everyone on here is in the boat. Well done.

Happy to see Rory Gallagher on the list😀

Probably the best guitarist list I've seen on KZread. Like others, I would maybe have found a place for the unique style of Jimmie Vaughan. The top two are almost impossible to separate. Thanks for another great video.
