Always a tough question. I'll throw out my "for now" list.

 

1. Hubert Sumlin

2. Johnny Shines

3. Hound Dog Taylor

4. Earl Hooker

5. Mike Bloomfield

 

 

Hubert Sumlin; great pick, what an influential guitarist. I meet him some years back, a really nice laid back guy; like Pinetop Perkins and BB King, he's gonna keep doing what he does until that day he doesn't wake up.

I had never heard of this guy before but he is the CHAMP!

 

Thank you!

 

So glad to introduce you to him. I consider him one of the finest guitarists of all time, and he'd be horrified to be considered a rock and roll star, but, he is.

And he can be very addictive to listen to and watch....Rock on Shaved Ape !![thumbup] [thumbup] [thumbup]

Well, Thanks, XD.

 

It's so difficult to leave out the likes of BB King, Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Howe, Chet Atkins...and on and on and on!

 

I did very much like the fact that your list included names which might be unfamiliar to quite a few folk and they can 'discover' more great guitarists.
