His tele has been called the guitar that killed folk music. Electric folk-rock starts with Dylan, the lead guitar is MIKE BLOOMFIELD.

Lonnie Mack might have been the single most important electric guitar player of the 60s. He was the one who bridged the gap between the bluesmen and rock guitar heroes that came later. Listen to what he was playing in 1963-64. It was way beyond anything the bluesmen and surf players or even the Ventures were doing. He invented BLUES ROCK guitar soloing. Wham, Chicken Pickin, On the Move , these were revolutionary recordings . Some of the bluesmen were doing some great guitar work around the time but when it came to speed, precision and mixing blues , country , jazz and rock and roll the way the British guitar heroes would do a couple years later, Mack was the pioneer

Lonnie Johnson was the first male superstar of the Blues. He invented the improvised lead solo. Brought the guitar from the back line to the front. He is the Father of all lead guitar. Check him out. I found him chasing Robert Johnson & Charlie Christian (born in Dallas but raised in OKC, buried there too.) His duets with Eddy Lang are amazing as are his instrumentals.

A more interesting list than the typical who’s best lists. You’ve left my #3 off entirely. Apparently as Muddy Waters popularity grew and he started to play bigger clubs he was the first Bluesman to plug in, by doing so he created a sound that became the basis for all who followed, including B.B. I have to agree with everyone who’s said Jeff Beck. Hendrix asked Chandler if he could introduce him to Clapton AND Beck. As great as the Beano album is, there were a lot of other British bands playing blues at the time. Beck took them in a completely different direction, it introduced controlled feedback and sonic ideas that hadn’t been heard before. Jeff is another of the London guitarists who upon seeing Jimi wondered what his next career would be. When they met he was surprised to hear that Jimi loved his playing and had stolen some of his licks. Jimi took the feedback to the next level. I think that Jimi appreciated Clapton’s playing and sound but that he was more influenced by Beck.

There are dozens of old blues guys who can play circles around BB King that don't get the same respect that he does.

I like that your list goes way back into the history of the electric guitar but, aside from Jimi and Eric, I find this list comes up way short on the most influential period of electric guitar, the British Invasion of the late 60's. Jimmy Page, Pete Townshend, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck and George Harrison would all be very difficult to exclude from my top ten.

I think this is a very good list. A little correction, though, I believe that the power chord was created by Link Wray. I would've put him on this list along with Django, Wes, and Holdsworth. You should do a "Forgotten Fretmasters" on Todd Rundgren sometime, whose sheer guitar wizardry is still very overlooked, especially with his absolute best years, Utopia.

The two most effective guitarists of all time are FRANCIS ROSSI AND RICK PARFITT. Rick Parfitt was the most powerful and best Rhythm Guitarist in the history of Rock n Roll. There is no competition. He was the true essence of Rock n Roll. Rick's guitar strings were the most heavily strung strings of any guitarist. No one else could play his guitars. Rick sang whilst playing some of the most mind-blowing riffs. He was one of the greatest Rock singers in history. Strong and powerful from the guts. Rick Parfitt was a real Rock God. Francis Rossi puts all the others in the shade. Nobody plays Lead and Rhythm Guitar as well as Rossi. Rossi is the guitarists' guitarist. All guitarists wish they were as good as Rossi, Rossi also has a voice as smooth as silk. When Parfitt and Rossi sing you can understand every word on their Hit songs. Parfitt and Rossi tower above the other guitarists. They are two of the best songwriters as well. They recorded LIVE in the studio with the whole band, they didn't put down multiple tracks and cheat like other bands did. From the mid-60's to Rick's death in 2016 they both played in the Greatest Rock band of all time.

BB King said he had to develop a style that was anti-T-bone because he simply couldn’t play that way. And what do you think is the source of Jimi’s stage antics?

It's almost impossible for me to say anything good or nice about Canadian band RUSH, because I don't like them. I've tried to hear something to like about them, but I can't hear what others can hear. Same with Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift, can't hear anything of quality there as well. Whereas, I can hear everything good and great about MATTHEW SWEET. To my ears, MATTHEW SWEET's music is up on a shelf just marginally below THE BEATLES. That is just my opinion. I recommend that you take the time to listen to a few of his albums from the 90's to make your own opinion. Titles such as GIRLFRIEND, ALTERED BEAST, 100% FUN, BLUE SKYS ON MARS, IN REVERSE The Guitarists playing on those albums are some of the best you'll ever hear.

Rock n Roll is all about expressing the human spirit and that comes from deep within an individuals' soul. When I hear a clinically perfect classical guitarist play a flawless piece of music with precision, I think " wow, that was excellent " However, it doesn't fill me with emotion as does NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE on their LIVE album called WELD. NEIL YOUNG is most definitely right up there as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. The Entertainment Centre in Sydney, Australia, needed major structural repairs after Neil played there in 1985. The first hour and a half was NEIL gently caressing us with his soft and soothing acoustic songs. Then we had a few drinks during interval. The second half of the gig was a mind - blowing audio assault from NEIL YOUNG and CRAZY HORSE. The loudest and heaviest rhythmic and melodic Rock set ever performed by anyone, anywhere, ever on the Planet. NEIL'S guitar was wailing, screaming and screeching, juxta positioned with the throbbing menace of CRAZY HORSE. They were scraping people off the back wall and ceiling for days after that gig

Including Robert Johnson was a cool choice but T-Bone Walker as a contemporary of Charlie Christian would have made much more sense from a blues electric guitar standpoint. And if you wanted to include a pre-electric guitarist probably Eddie Lang and/or Lonnie Johnson (who actually recorded duets) are arguably more influential than R Johnson. Django did play electric towards the end of his career but would also be an outlier. Despite his namesake artist model guitar, Les Paul really should not be on this list -- his role in development of the solid body guitar and recording techniques while notable has been exaggerated. Certainly Chet Atkins would have been a better choice. And yes, Wes Montgomery is a major oversight and Duane Allman or Elmore James influence of slide guitar is a major oversight.

Santana is basically a slight tweak on Peter Green with Latin percussion though. Even his most famous and arguably influential song Black Magic Woman is a cover of the Fleetwood Mac original written by Green. my favorite part is his big album in the 90s, "the supernatural" seems pretty innocuous. Until you go back to the John Mayall Hard Road album and see a song called "The Supernatural" which sounds remarkably like something Santana would do, except it was 2 years before his first album.

However, there is one style whose originator I would argue is perhaps missing although several of those on the list have certainly mastered it. I'm referring to the tuneful, flowing, melodic, romantic guitar style as practised by Carlos Santana and Pat Metheny etc although I don't believe they invented it. I suspect that it was originally developed in jazz so perhaps Les Paul might be the originator? If not, perhaps Wes Montgomery? Joe Pass? Django Reinhardt? I dunno .... just throwing it out there.
