Let's not forget Roy Buchanan, RIP.

In my opinion Allan Holdsworth is the greatest guitar player to hit the scene in the last thirty years. Few people can even figure out his chords and lead lines and fewer can imitate them.

Let's not forget Roy Buchanan, RIP. The true master of the Telecaster (apologies to Albert Collins). The guy just shreded on that thing. Too bad he couldn't write a decent song, though.
But my favorite Telecaster player (and one of my favorite guitarists) is James Burton.

I wonder where Jeff Beck's spot on this list is. I'd probably put him above Clapton and Allman, and neck-and-neck with Hendrix.
To: Mr. Mojo
Duane Allman was certainly among the best. Though in some photos I can't tell the difference between him and Oddball (Donald Sutherland) of "Kelly's Heroes" fame.
To: Mr. Mojo
Did Mark Knopfler or Eddie Van Halen make the list?

Jeff Beck.....I'd probably put him above Clapton and Allman, and neck-and-neck with Hendrix. For jazz-rock, yes. ...But not for blues-rock.

I hope Robert Fripp made the list.
To: Osage Orange
Pat Metheny better be on the list. Most people know him for the Group stuff, but he does a lot of straight-ahead,even avant garde stuff in the vein of Ornette Coleman. BTW he's got a great new album out, it's just him on a solo baritone guitar.

To: Yardstick
Beck was always flash IMO, apart from BeckBogart and Appice.
Not enough melody tho' WIRED was a great album.
To: swarthyguy
WIRED was a great album. "Blue Wind," ..."Head for backstage pass," ....."Lead Boots"...
Excellent album

Fripp probably didn't. Too many folks have only heard of guys like Clapton, Hendrix, and Van Halen. Most rock fans do not have developed musical palates. They spend too much time listening the same boring blues licks in 4/4 time.
