[Music] Worlds top ten guitarists of all time

[Priest with gold Amex]

The underrated Mick Taylor deserves a mention, played on probably some of the Stones' best albums, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St. Very talented guitarist who cut his teeth with John Myall's Bluebreakers at the age of 17 replacing Peter Green.

Good call, how did I forget him, my favourite Stones tracks were with Taylor on guitar. Very shabbily treated by Jagger and Richards too.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Carlos Santana
Joe Bonamassa

[Southern Scouse]

Mark Knopfler

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

John squire, if nothing else for his influence on other bands. Johnny marr as well.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Dwayne Allman

 

[Muzzman]

Darrell Lance Abbott aka 'Dimebag' Darrell.

 

[FIVESTEPS]

Ernie Isley.

 

[zefarelly]

Miller Anderson. . . . under the radar, quite a career, (Keef Harltey, T Rex, Deep Purple, Spencer Davis, Donovan ) and can sing mighty well too.

This track is from his 1971 solo album . . . . he's still superb, better than Clapton IMO.

Not that I am deeply into Spanish guitar but the greatest guitarist I ever saw live (at the Dome) was Manitas de Plata.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Ernie Isley.

Tex Isley

 

[mashman156]

A bit left field perhaps but Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers is an awesome Bass Guitarist

 

[Swansman]

Eddie Hazel!

 

[Barrow Boy]

Ritchie Blackmore
Jimmy Page
Gary Moore
Carlos Santana

Would get my vote.
