TOP 15 BEST BLUES GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME!!

Stevie Ray Vaughan - August 27, 1990 Alpine Valley - 30 years ago - too soon - much loved.

God bless SRV. Best guitarist, and best man to play the guitar. He saved so many lives through his messages about the dangers or drugs and alcohol and what damage it does to someone. His personality outshines his playing and that's really saying something

Man o Man - Rory Gallagher. What a master and a showman - great inclusion.

Mike Bloomfield has long been my favorite, ever since I became enlightened by The Paul Butterfield Blues Band in 1965. And, after 50+ years of playing harmonica (thank you Paul, Charlie Musselwhite, John Mayall, and Norton Buffalo), I think I'm finally getting the hang of it.
And, let us not forget, Elmore James.

Love to see Rory in the list. He made it look so simple and effortless, never struggling with the guitar. Imo his 1974 Irish tour is a reference blues album.

I have seen far too many times Rory getting left out of these lists. He was an amazing player and quite unique as well. It's nice to see him finally getting some recognition for his fabulous work.

I'm glad to see Peter Green still getting love.

[wolvros]

Finally someone mentioning Rory Gallagher; hes one of the best to grace the planet and super unique and his own

Albert Collins is definitely one that should be in any top 10 electric BLUES players of all times. He s up there with BB, Albert, Freddie and Buddy Guy.

We missed Johnny Winter, Duane Allman, and Albert Collins. But hey, Bloomfield and Rory on a list is a nice thing to see. :)

Peter Green - Ive got a good mind to give up living - Still the best blues solo I have ever heard. If you havent listened, look it up. Absolutely phenomenal.

Your playing in this video is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. You morphed into each great blues artist so naturally. Thanks so much for this inspirational video. Your tone is beyond anything btw. This is the coolest video!!!!

Hey, it's Robert Johnson, who, after so many years of listening to the blues, still makes the deepest impression on me. Thanks.

Another best blues guitarist top list without including the legendary Gary Moore.

[guyvelvet]

Albert Collins almost never gets his due

I'm glad you have Michael Bloomfield in there. I think his often overlooked and underrated as a blues guitarist! I absolutely love his style and playing!!

[lorenzoalexiu]

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.

I saw Rory Gallagher at the Marquee about 50 years ago!! He was absolutely captivating. But MY number one would be have to be Gary Moore. Not sure why he was left out.

[christianrutegard]

I think it's amazing to see how you can imitate all these giants so perfectly. Great job!

Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers is often overlooked because of his very short career. He was excellent and very influential on some of the people on your list including Clapton.
