My number one consists of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck as a tie, the later I confess I haven’t heard that much of. Sorry I don’t consider Jimi the best pure soloist but he might be the overall best. I have an apreciation with early blues guitarists but confess that I haven’t heard much of them. B.B. is real good and demonstrates his love, Maybelle Carter is probably the best overall woman Andres is the best classical and there are countless young muscians who can shred. Any comments are much appreciated!
