Oh man, he was the greatest slide guitarist of all time. And, in my humble opinion, he is the greatest southern rocker of all time! I love the Allman Brothers live at the Filmore East!Duane Allman.
What, no SRV? Oh wait, he's dead!There are so many. As an aficionado, I wouldn't directly compare them. I just think they are amazing in their own ways.
Kingfish
Albert Lee
Derek Trucks
Warren Haynes
Robert Randolph
Good, but not great. You gotta do more than rehashed blues pentatonics to make my list. Super nice guy, though. His business card says “friend of Eric Clapton” on it.What about Billy Gibbons?
Slowhand was the best.Good, but not great. You gotta do more than rehashed blues pentatonics to make my list. Super nice guy, though. His business card says “friend of Eric Clapton” on it.
That is just your opinion. There are many folks that would disagree.Slowhand was the best.
Clapton is WAAAAY down the list of great blues players. If Stevie Ray Vaughan was a 10 on a scale of 1-10, then Clapton is a 7 at best.You are still full of shit!
Name me one guitarist today that can play blues as well as Eric Clapton.
I can tell, you enjoy hating Clapton?Clapton is WAAAAY down the list of great blues players. If Stevie Ray Vaughan was a 10 on a scale of 1-10, then Clapton is a 7 at best.
I don't hate him. I just think there are other better guitarists.I can tell, you enjoy hating Clapton?
Im not hating on him. He is a perfectly fine musician and a great song writer. My issue is with people who think he is anywhere near the top of the list of great guitar players. He was great for his time, but no longer great. He wouldnt even make the top 20,000 greatest guitarists of all time. There are literally that many alive today that are better than he is.I can tell, you enjoy hating Clapton?
Well, I disagree.I don't hate him. I just think there are other better guitarists.
Now I know you are full of shit!Im not hating on him. He is a perfectly fine musician and a great song writer. My issue is with people who think he is anywhere near the top of the list of great guitar players. He was great for his time, but no longer great. He wouldnt even make the top 20,000 greatest guitarists of all time. There are literally that many alive today that are better than he is.
We all have differing opinions.Well, I disagree.

Yes we do. Dissent is part of a healthy democracy.We all have differing opinions.
You have zero knowledge of guitar if you think that. You just liked some Clapton songs and you heard people claim he was awesome for decades. That isnt proof of his ability. Every generation is better than the last. This goes for all sports, and musical instruments, dancers, actors, etc. Every generation is better than the last because, they learn from the previous generation and then improve on it.Now I know you are full of shit!

Here is a great example for you, if you care to actually engage. Here is Jimmy Hendrix playing Voodoo Chile...
Now listen to the kid that Hendrix inspired to become even better at it...
The difference between those two performances is STAGGERING. SRV doesnt fuck up a single note, his string bends are WAAAAAYYYY the fuck more accurate and he just generally plays cleaner all around. His technique is flawless and not only that, he is improvising the entire performance. He has never played any song the same way twice. He always improvises on the spot.
