SRV didn't play the guitar. He became part of it. He was on another level !!!

Nice to see him recognize Alvin Lee as one of the greatest.
Fantastic player!

There are countless studio guitarists, that could shred with the best, tha we'll never hear about.

Peter Green, Mark Knopfler, Malcolm Jones, David Gilmour, Rory Gallagher, etc.

At one time, Page said one of his favorite electric guitar solos was Elliott Randall's on Steely Dan's "Reelin' in the Years."

[LoneWolf-McWeed]

Alvin Lee is still one of the best ever!!!

[broncobrian]

So nice to see Alvin Lee get a mention. He was always my favorite from that era, but rarely get mentioned in top 5 or top 10 lists

Roy Clark could play many instruments with amazing perfection

Leslie West .David Gilmour Jeff Beck .Ritchie Blackmore

[geoffwells]

He was a great admirer of Peter Green and Rory Gallagher

I saw Alvin Lee and Roy Buchanan and both blue me away. Some guitarists never make it big.

[flasaxmessias]

He said in an interview that he learned and his admiration for John Mclaughlin also ! 😉👍🎸🎶

[JackSquat]

Robin Trower was another blues guitarist with a unique touch.

I FIND IT ODD, that most artists of those days hate Richie Blackmore so much they never mention him. I hate guitar solos and over produced guitars in sing and Richie Blackmore in the 70’s(all times but mainly) is the only time i can sit for 12 min and hear a pure guitar solo. Of course they all amazing but the old OG’s of black
America are way more raw and original. Jimmy is amazing too. And as much as people cannot handle Richie Blackmore in a band or personally, HE IS A GENIUS.

My favourite guitar hero is Dick Taylor from The Pretty Things! Very talented musician and still on the road and playing at the age of 81.

[mike]

Dave Gilmour for me, but I guess that's a different kind of music.

[joetorres]

I have and always been a fan of Alvin Lee, such a great guitatist, his style was unique..Started with Ten Years After his Woodstock is considered one of the best performance by a band at Woodstock, his version of Hey Joe, WOW! RIP
