He's been gone a while, but Terry Kath was pretty good, too. Way too many great/very good ones for me to even begin to rank them.

A lot of the old school guitarists mentioned- probably because the majority of us are a bunch of old guys...
Should we start a thread about some of the new talent coming up to look forward to? I would put John Mayer in that group.... a lot of these guys are only going to get better...
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
I don't think I could put him in with the really big dogs, or maybe.
But not often mentioned in these conversations in Steve Lukather(Toto). Right there with Eddie VH on the Mike Jackson tracts but not getting the attention. Damn good. Longest running member with Ringo's Al Star Band.
George Harrison... I'm just a listener, not a player. So I don't know, even though I do hear miss licks & pregnant pauses from time to time. But some top player list have GH way up there. Not that he did anything all that fancy, but played perfectly whenever he played. Making him great? Or just playing it safe?
Keith Richard invented more iconic riffs while in a coma having his blood transfused than likely everyone else on that list combined. It shouldn't be just about musical masturbation. Somebody has to write the songs too. And he's been playing them for sixty years as well.
And right alongside him Ronnie Wood is no slouch when compared to anybody you can name. Strictly as a player, may be better than Richards.
I get it that white guys like the Gucci blues (Joe Bonermassage) but Samantha Fish?
Hendrix was a genius ala John Coltrane.
SRV was a coked out Texan that took all the cool schidt Hendrix did and blended it with Albert King and threw in some of his own cool stuff and you can’t help but notice what an absolute terror he was on an old beat to schidt partscaster.
Samantha Fish?
Down boys.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!
