All depends on what music you like, Im into blues and slide guitar so for me it,s Chris Rea and after see'ing him live this year I couldt be a bigger fan. I think there are a lot of great players out there but surely it just comes back to what you are in to?

I think, if I'm not mistaken, the thread is talking about instrumental prowess. The subject always encourages musical snobbery (guilty!
) and is also confined to your general knowledge of who is out there. For jazz enthusiasts it might be Charlie Byrd, George Benson, Al Di Meola or Larry Carlton. For rockers it may be Randy Rhoads, Jake E Lee, Eddie van Halen or Rick Derringer, for folkies it may be Bert Jansch or Richard Thompson, and so it goes on.

I saw Man at the Dome and walked out after 15 mins, absolutely dreadful if you are not into heavy metal head banging music.....
As mentioned elsewhere your taste in guitarists must be linked to your taste in music - Carlos Santana, Wishbone Ash twin guitars, Peter Green, Dave Gilmour, Duane Allman(slide guitar on Layla) or Clapton for me
Hendrix obviously but too self indulgent at times for me and Jack Bruce when in Cream, if only for his bass guitar competing and just as important to the music as Clapton's lead. Although I have no time for anything of his since Band on the Run, McCartney is a pretty awesome guitarist as well.

One who played regularly for me in my pubs as Clive Live, Clive Read. When he was playing at my pub in Guildford Eric Clapton used to come and listen as he said Clive was the 'bees knees'. There was also another couple Jim O Sullivan and Willie Austin, who have now split up but Jim O Sullivan is a session musician who I have heard mentioned on the radio at a lot of different venues some classical some rock.

Bollocks. I was near him last time I went to Seattle. A friend of mine lives very close to where he's buried. He gets near him every time he comes home from work.

Big Jim Sullivan (as he is known) played on LOADS of British pop hits (and non-hits) during the 60's. Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones did too.
So many record-lables hired those guys to play instead of the actual group that was supposed to be making the record - to make sure it was done quickly, and done right.

Big Jim also recorded several records that were released in France simply as 'Sullivan'. Often sitar orientated.
