Bonus

Thanks for giving Gilmour the credit he deserves. He's my favorite but I feel doesn't get nearly the recognition he deserves. His work on Wish You Were Here and Animals is (in my opinion) the best stuff ever laid down.
1. Robbie Robertson (The Band)
2. Mike Bloomfield (Paul Butterfield Band)
3. Neil Young
4. B.B King
5. Eric Clapton
( I know, I'm from the 60s and 70s)
1. Stevie Ray Vaughn - Nobody can touch his sound and style. Eric Clapton once walked out of a jam session at a club when he was scheduled to follow Stevie.
2. Buddy Guy - one of Jimi and Stevie's mentors.
3. Duane Allman - His work with Eric Clapton and the Allman Brothers is historic.
4. Roy Buchanan - Just listen to "Roy's Blues" on his Livestock album. The song pretty much describes his life. Probably one of the most misunderstood and neglected guitarists.
5. Bonnie Raitt - What can I say? Her homegrown songs aren't much, but when she decides to really play the blues, there are few better on the slide.
Al Di Meola
John McLaughlin
Paco De Lucia
David Gilmour
Carlos Santana
These probably arent the best 5 guitarist but they are the guitarists that have been the most influential to me.
