The "Best" Blues Guitarists?
Hi Folks,
Welcome to my blog. As I write this, I am in the midst of finishing my third "For Dummies" book, this one called "Blues Guitar for Dummies." One of the Dummies features is to include "10 Best" lists, and it's always a good exercise to see if you can distill what you know (or think you know) and love into just 10. Here's what I came up. Your results may vary.
1. Robert Johnson
2. Elmore James
3. Stevie Ray Vaughan
4. Muddy Waters
5. Eric Clapton
6. B.B. King
7. Albert King
8. Albert Collins
9. Johnny Winter
10. T-Bone Walker
Not on the list, but could be on yours: Otis Rush, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Freddie King, Lightnin' Hopkins, Son Seals, Son House, Fred McDowell, Charley Patton, Earl Hooker, John Lee Hooker.
Or do you have your own ideas? The trick is, who would you leave off the list to put yours on?
