Blackmore,Hendrix,Alvin Lee & Rory Gallagher.

[@andrasczehlarik9180]

Respect. Alvin my favorite guitarist. Cheers.

[@claudepichard3123]

Of course Alvin Lee mises !

[@KeithRiches-oe8og]

Why o why is Hendrix rated so highly, I have been fortunate to watch all of the top guitarist live including Hendrix and yes he was great in his time but since his time he has been surpassed by age experience and technology.I was around to see the Yardbirds grow through their different stages and for me Jeff Beck was the only one who grew in stature and maturity, his contribution to the music industry was second to none, he remained top of his game from 1963 until his passing in 2023, he should be top of any list for pure quality and innovative musical advancements, god rest his soul.

[@urekdumone2]

seen beck, boring and contrived

[@orgonutil]

Becouse he was the precursor and changed how the instrument was played by his influence more than anyone

[@warmingupfast5449]

For the same reason that Sugar Ray Robinson is the all time greatest boxer, and Babe Ruth the all time greatest slugger.

[@joeguzman9316]

Definitely missing Stevie Ray V. , Frank Zappa , Johnny Winter , Alvin Lee , Rory Gallagher , Joe Bonamassa , Steve Howe , Duane Allman , Mick Taylor , etc . And there are many that can be excluded !

If we are talking about Rock/Blues as the initial title indicates then there should be more Black guitarists: Freddie King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, and Bo Diddley. Hell even Muddy Waters. All of these guys can rock their asses off not to mention wail on the blues.

[@keithsmith1173]

Not a bad list - never understand why Ritchie Blackmore never appears higher on these lists - between Rainbow and Deep Purple, the guy is mostly responsible for about 150 million album sales worlwide - that's a lot of appreciation from the record buying public - way more than guys like White, Van Halen and Townsend. I think Blackmore's reputation has clouded many peoples judgement, I dont think there is a serious rock guitarist today that wouldnt put Ritchie way higher up that list - the guy can really play rock guitar but has the classical music chops that no-one else on this list can better - even Hendrix.

[@rickjohnson2165]

They got #1 right, but numbers 2, 3 and 4 should be a contest between Ritchie, Jimmy Page and Tony Iommi.

[@tb1263]

Exactly, people seem to be nervous to talk about Ritchie Blackmore, they take a disstance for that reason, instead of having a clear and neutral understanding of how brilliant his guitar playing actually is.

The funny thing is that we rate all the best players from the stock of famous guitarists.But there are plenty of guys and gals sitting at home in their bedrooms who we never heard of who are probably just as good if not better.Each generation has its brilliant players just as good as the generation previous.There is no such thing as the best ever.

Didnt play layla which was missed considering what a great song it is. suppose when you have that kind of skill something has to give. Shame really.music great. Entertainment not so much as a hello Manchester thanks for coming to watch me.hope you guys enjoy the show. Went to watch Darius Rucker a couple of weeks ago. Much more interaction, manners and entertaining. If it's watching a guitar legend Eric clapton. If you want a good nights Entertainment Darius Rucker, cheaper and more enjoyable show.
