I could'nt believe that it was page 7 before anyone (RAC5150 I think) nominated Eric Clapton. Eric may have copped his tone and most of his licks from the great bluesmen, however, he is a great guitarist in his own right and in common with my other favorites can express a feeling with some simple licks and bends ans stuff. Great guitar playing does not have to be flashy or display a high level of technical skill. If the riff or solo hits the spot then the guitar player has done his job (right Luigi Cabrini). So here goes my top guitarists in no particular order:- Jimmy Page - SRV - Muddy Waters - Paul Kossoff - Dave Gilmour - Chuck Berry - Keith Richard
