The top ten guitarists from June 1966 to September
1970 are as follows:
1. Eric Clapton - His work with Cream puts him
way above anyone else.
2. Jeff Beck - His wild , inventive , superfast
playing showed Hendrix how to do it.
3. Jimmy Page - "Led Zeppelin" and"Led Zeppelin
II" are all anyone needs as justification that
Page should be ranked here.
4. Johnny Winter - Today's best blues guitarist
was easily better than Hendrix - as recorded jams
have showed.
5. Jimi Hendrix - His playing on "Johnny
B.Goode" from May of 1970 was the best he ever
did , mainly because he stayed with the rhythm
guitar parts.
6. Ritchie Blackmore - Deep Purple's guitarist
was heavily influenced by Jeff Beck , but he
finds his own voice during this period.
7. Peter Green - A Clapton fan , as was every
guitarist from this period , Green could have
shown Jimi the proper way to play the blues had
Jimi the ability.
8. Mick Taylor - Another Clapton fan , Taylor
showed everyone that he could do it all with John
Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
9. Duane Allman - The Allman Brothers' first
album showed everyone that a brilliant new talent
was on the scene , maybe the greatest slide
guitarist who ever lived.
10. John Mclaughlin - His work with Miles Davis
took the guitar where Hendrix could only imagine
- and without cheap gimmicks.
Serious guitar fans should check out these guys.
