A friend and fellow guitarist recently asked what the top 15 guitarists were for us. Here’s my list. These are not in order, and I left out Tom Waits, Ian Anderson and Cat Stevens because they are not primarily guitarists.
Django Reinhardt
Robert Johnson
John McLaughlin
Davey Graham
Martin Barre
Mississippi John Hurt
Jimi Hendrix
Eric Clapton
Chris Whitley
Erkan Ogur (Turkish fretless guitarist)
Brian Eno
Dan Lanois
Ry Cooder
Alex Lifeson
David Gilmour
Also need to list my Dad and my friend Pete Longo – a fingerstyle blues guitarist from Hazleton.
