    Just having a quick browse through some of the topics and I didn't see any mention of my fav, Jimi Hendrix.
    But I don't think it's enough just to go on and on about Hendrix without talking about some other notable and brilliant guitar players. Jimi is my favourite but I wouldn't say he was the best. There are so many. Some other names are;
    Matt Schofield
    Rory Gallagher
    Stevie Ray Vaughan
    Alvin Lee
    Ryan Cooder
    Jimmy Page
    And, that's just a few!
    Who do you think is a great guitarist, what song?

    Eric Clapton is still good.I think it was either Steve Vai or Joe.Satriani who said you could be as good as Clapton if you practiced hard for a year.I disagree.Maybe you could get close to his period in Cream but Clapton evolved.

    I don't see a problem with white men singing the blues about love. Singing about being down and out or oppressed might be something different.

    dude you don't mention buddy guy who was hendrix's inspiration including for playing behind head, with teeth etc - buddy guy does more tricks in a 12 bar than any other five guitarists will do their entire working careers including clapton - the rest are all very weak imitations, next

    Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters,B B King,John Lee Hooker
    Speaking of Buddy, I saw a concert of his where he played a tribute to SRV, Cold Shot and played half a solo with a hand towel on the neck of his guitar
    Guitar acrobatics can be cool, but you can't see it when you are listening to it. Then again, that's why we go to gigs

    Junior Wells is another fav of mine. Especially with Earl Hooker on guitar.
