Im nominating SRV , since I saw the man at Antoines right before he broke really big. He dripped sweat on me.
But nominate your choice and lets see what the board thinks.

I will say I absolutely respect some of the opinions on here that get into the music.

I'm going Clapton, Hendrix or Alman. It's too hard to decide.

Won't be considered the greatest, but my two favorites are Jonny Greenwood and Nick Valensi.

Agree, but if there was, it would be Mark Knopfler.

Impossible question, but Robert Fripp has to be up there on the list.

Considering everyone who deserves mention in this thread would put Jeff Beck in their top three, let's inject him into the conversation now.

Many of the greats have already been said but Jimi Hendrix probably deserves a mention



Oops, I see now someone already did. My mistake

I can’t choose who is the best, but I will say that Mike Campbell is one of the most underrated.
