I'm guessing you've heard the three way guitar duel between Joe Bonamassa, Josh Smith and Tommy Emmanuel. Mind blowing!

They carry the torch handed in the 60s and 70s by the late Albert King, BB King, Freddie King, Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, Paul Kossoff, Mike Bloomfield, Gary Moore, Alvin Lee, Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher, Roy Buchanan, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Peter Green, Pete Haycock, Danny Kirwan, Rod Price, Kim Simmonds, Jeff Healey, and the ones who are still among us, Robin Trower, Mick Taylor, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Buddy Whittington, Billy Gibbons, Buddy Guy, Warren Haynes, Ry Cooder, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Walter Trout, Jim McCarthy, and many more.

This young man Kingfish Ingram is just phenomenal!..

A nice appraisal. I agree with your reply to someone else...favourite is very much mood-dependant, so many great players to choose from. My current favourites are Eric Gales and Josh Smith live (together or individually), and I mentioned in a reply on another of your vids, Greg Koch (who deserves much more recognition imho). These three players can always surprise me (I like rock and some other genres too, so mixing styles seamlessly really appeals to me). Joe Bonamassa has a lot of variety in his catalogue too, what with his own stuff, Black Country Communion rock, and the soulful side with Beth Hart. I'm really enjoying the variety in your approach to this channel, good stuff! How far into rock do you think you'll go? (I'll stay with you even if you keep it mostly blues, which is mostly what I play when I pick up a guitar).

A few women to check out aside from Samantha Fish. Ana Popovic, Anni Piper, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Sadie Johnson, and Erja Lyytinen. All are worthy guitar players.

Sure, there are some really technically great blues guitarists out there, right now. But I still like to listen to early blues. They all seemed to have their own style. They were singing about their own lives. They were making it up all along. So much blues/rock today sounds like something I've already heard.

@Devon_Rismay

Gary Clark Jr. knows how to find ways to make his own style of blues. I like how he takes relatively simple bends and patterns but finds different ways to use them. It creates his unique sound. He stands out with the structure and soul of his playing.

I like your list, but for me Derek Trucks is the best today.. His skill and tone is 2nd to none.. Gales and Bonamassa are bad ass players, but to me their playing is too fast for the most part.. Albert King told SRV once that there is a lot of good guitar players out there but they play fast and don't play with soul, and I tend to agree.. But you do have some great players on your list..

I wouldnt argue the point with Derek, depending on my mood, I suppose I'd have him as the best blues player. But I've also seen joe & gales play with ridiculous soul as well. So that's why I have em at the top.

Totally agree. Derek is the best living guitar player out there right now and not just his slide playing. He is also a band leader who conducts and arranges performances by the best live band in the land these days. Have a soft spot for Eric Gales cause he's a lefty. Joe B just doesn't excite me as much as many others do......as I type this I am listening to and watching Jimi play live, Red House after Hear My Train A Comin (Royal Albert Hall February 1969).
