Can’t forget Satriani and John Petrucci.

Nobody has mentioned Duane Allman yet either. Shame.

BTW, there's shows on youtube of Berry in the mid 70s. It's top notch shit. He's clearly ditched the amphetimines for weed, and his playing slows down, and becomes all about tone and control.

RIP EVH. Sad sad day. One of the best. Top Ten for me but I’m a blues guy first.

Guitar players are like football teams. Lots to love about a lot ...but fans are loyal to “their “ guy.

Duane Almann was Awesome.
BB King and Muddy Waters wrote the book on Blues guitar.

Everyone forgets Mr Les Paul! I mean the dude has The Guitar most of these other guys play ...named for him! Lmao.

Sippin Bourbon now (Old Tub)... while simultaneously posting here, designing some pretty complex electronics, and listening to some blues guitar.

Duane was awesome. I saw Greg Allman at Bonnaroo in 2011. Right after that, we went and saw Jeff Beck, then Bela Fleck, and then Warren Haynes. It was quite a day.

I mean, we could really get into some esoteric guitarists if we wanted to. Robert Fripp, Larry Corryell, Pat Metheny, and Al Di Meola would all be up there for me.
