I have seen Eric Clapton and Steve Hackett (not together) live, both of those were very very good. Don’t know how they compare to others. I really like David Gilmour but not seen him play live.

I assume we are talking popular music here.

3 who should be in the top 10 are

Jeff Beck, pretty good
Richard Thompson's not to shabby at everything
Steve Ray Vaughan


I quite like Robert Fripp

Chuck Prophet, Bonnie Raitt and George Benson are pretty tasty

Duane Allman (see my avatar)
Ry Cooder
Carlos Santana
Peter Green

And if it's beyond rock type stuff, Django Reinhardt.

Not just about technical skills or being a YouTuber for me, more about introducing different styles and influencing others.
Off the top of my head would be:
Robert Johnson
BB King
Jimmy Page
Jimi Hendrix
Eric Clapton
Steve Hackett
Tony Iommi
Pete Townshend
Dave Gilmour
Chuck Berry

I’m sure there are many more I’ve missed.

Sorry,.. I do feel that Mr Santana needs to be in top 3 at least.

The man who matched Clapton’s guitar playing in Cream - Jack Bruce is up there.

Andy Powell and Ted Turner from Wishbone Ash

Peter White

Carlos Santana would be my top choice, even over Clapton
