best blues guitar players

0

I like to think I’ve immersed myself in blue (past and present) pretty thoroughly over the last couple of decades…not to say that I haven’t missed someone along the way for sure.

What impresses me more than anything else is how incredibly deep, rich and divergent the talent is…at its root, the I,IV,V (with some slight variations) put to a slow, shuffle, delta or jump style can be the start of millions and millions of different sounds, ryhthms and soul that makes up the blues.

But what about the greatest blues guitar players of all time?

This is subjective, but I really want to get your input on this list…do you agree, disagree? Leave us a comment.

1. T-Bone Walker
2. Son House
3. BB King
4. Jimmie Hendrix
5. Freddie King
6. Albert King
7. Robert Johnson
8. Buddy Guy
9. Stevie Ray Vaughan
10. Eric Clapton

How many do you agree with? Anyone else you would add to the list?
