SG fan 420 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 CLAPTON IS GOD:-" ..........o.k. not really, but he is one of my favorites. If B.B. King says he's one of the greatest, I'm not gonna argue wit him[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I guess if Steve's counting Northern Irish as British, then I can count Irish as British as well. In that case, I choose Rory Gallagher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Since we are not counting the Irish (Moore & Gallagher), and although many admire both Clapton and Beck (for his alien technique), I will go Peter Green all the way... Nobody else, from those mentioned, comes close to his feeling. Here's a sample: [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin_Lizzy Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Got to be Beck. Ain't Superstitious is one hell of a blues track. And the album Truth has got some proper blues on it: [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-RhkvlZzSI[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Of the choices, Clapton and Green are the only two that I would consider blues guitarists. Page is definitely not a blues player. Beck is more jazz fusion than than anything else, and Taylor seemed to switch styles too much to pin him as anything. That's not a slam on Taylor. The best music the Stones ever did was wih him.

zigzag Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Page is definitely not a blues player. . I disagree. I believe Page's music is firmly rooted in the blues. I believe he uses the blues as a point of departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 ALL are fine players...no doubt, there. EC and Jeff Beck are MY favorites! I don't really compare them, as their styles are so different. So, for me, they are of equal standing, really. Eric gets the nod, for the "blues" catagory, this time, as he sings, as well as writes, excellent material, too. His voice, now, has matured into the best of his career...IMHO. And...he has always had Plenty of "Feeling!" Seen him, many times, from Cream era, on. Never disappointed. Some shows were Amazing, and other's...just spectacular! ;>) CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (All the statements below refer to 'The British Blues Boom' specifically) Eric Clapton changed the way the blues was played. Forever. The 'Beano' changed the way people heard the blues. Peter Green will always be the person who, for me, truly understood how to play the blues.
