Hendrix first. Did things with basic equipment others couldn’t.
Never a fan of clapton. Just not a fan of the blues and I think he’s a great blues player.
So Hendrix, Page, Gilmore…he was way better a blues player for me!, Van halen…amazing patterns, Ian Anderson…great folk/classical guitar and rock too, Tommy Emanuel…he’s technically pretty good…That is 6. There’s others but can’t think in the moment!
Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Keith Richards, Al DiMeola, Carlos Santana, Jose Feliciano, George Harrison, and Liz Phair. and Eddie Van Halen…that’s 10.
