Peter Green, Gary Moore, Mike Bloomfield , Alvin Lee, and of course Jimi

Happy to see Rory on the list.

Duane Allman!!!

Peter Green

Some major omissions: Peter Green, Gary Moore, Snowy White, Alvin Lee, Michael Bloomfield and Ali Farke Toure

Peter Green was born with the Blues in his soul. He really suffered for his talent and beliefs. He could say more in one note than thrash guitarists say in 20 notes.

Any list of greatest blues guitarists without Michael Bloomfield needs a do over.

Peter Green, Mike Bloomfield,Hound Dog Taylor, Duane Allman, Gary Clarke Jnr,Mick Taylor all worthy of mention

I would like to add John Mayall, Peter Green and Melvin Taylor.

Great video ! Thank You ! I Will add: John Mayall, Bernard Allison, Melvin Taylor, John Hammond, Bob Brozman, Jeff Healey, Alvin Lee, Little Charlie Baty, Joe Louis Walker, Lucky Peterson, Buddy Whittington, Billy Gibbons, Roy Buchanan and...

Fantastic list. I would add Blind Lemon Jefferson, Jimmy Rogers, Robert Cray, UP Wilson, Justin Johnson

Outstanding Video..👍💙

You certainly won’t please everyone with your blues genera influential’s but you have certainly covered the main ones. A couple of others are Duke Robillard, Little Charlie Baty, Jimmie Vaughan,…. but there are many unsung heroes of the blues. Great effort!

Everyone Has An Opinion ! This Is A Great Documentary On The Blues ! ❤❤❤

Great video, but I would have definitely included Gary Moore!

Nice list, bro. But there's people like Mike Bloomfield, Roy Buchanan, Gary Moore, Peter Green, Alvin Lee & Jimi Hendrix that are missing (and I'm pretty sure there's a lot more, just because there were so many really good guitar players into the blues scene/influence). Thank you for this video, bro. It's amazing.

I'm happy to see that the list includes Albert Collins. He just plays the same riffs all the time, but his immediately identifiable TONE will kill you--it just shoots up your spine!

Roy Buchanan.

Great video, many I knew just as many I didn't. Greeting from The Netherlands. Hooker 'n Heat is pretty awesome 😎

So glad to see Kingfish in your video! Very well made video 👍 I really enjoyed it. Thanks

Not including Mike Bloomfield, who had major influence of those that followed him and were mentioned, is a glaring omission.

Yes i unterstand i like the style of howling Wolf because i would like to sing and play harmonica with his blues songs with ours band and for example with the wolf's Song Evil ( i mixed Also the version of bonamassa Blues band but with the voice of Wolf😊

Mike Bloomfield, Peter Green. Tampa Red, Harvey Mandel, Bukka White just off the top of my head....

Vi siete dimenticati un grandissimo , tra i migliori .... Mike Bloomfield ... 😢😢😢

Lonnie Johnson

Someone that is always left off these lists is Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna/Jefferson Airplane fame. He is a great bluesman, he covers Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Arthur Blake, Robert Johnson. He does the blues right, check out Hot Tuna's first acoustic album... It's worth a listen

Popa Chubby. Yeh!

Peter Green, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Robin Trower, Gary Moore, Brian Jones and Jimmy Page.

no Blind Lemon Jefferson, Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson, Reverand Gary Davis, Mance :Lipscomb?? (Some might say Willie and Gary were religious singers, not a blues singers. But both are helluva guitarists!!)

One vote for R.L.Burnside.

Lacks Lonnie Johnson. Probably most important (or one of most important) Blues and Jazz guitarist. One of very first musicians using guitar as a solo instrument.

What about Chuck Berry. His phrasing with double stops had big influence on many blues guitar players.

Jimi Hendrix, Mike Bloomfield, Peter Green, Memphis Minnie, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Etta Baker, Big Bill Broonzy, Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup, Lowell Fulson and Chuck Berry should be on the list instead of Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram, Joe Bonamassa, Robben Ford etc. Their influence on the development of blues guitar cannot just be cast aside. After all, blues is about feel -- not fireworks like in metal.

Stevie Ray Vaughn, Roy Buchanan

Having seen many of the great blues guitar players in concert there is no doubt that Rev Gary Davis was the best . Must admit however that on record Lonnie Johnson and Blind Blake sounded amazing

Было приятно смотреть и узнавать всех их

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also happy independence day to the United states also last night was Canada day where I live in ❤😊

In addition to some of those mentioned by other commenters, I would include Rory Block, Joe Louis Walker, Robert Cray, and Kim Simmonds.

A great selection. I would have liked to include Leadbelly, but you included a lot of greats.

No Talk About Buddies ridículas voice on Mary had a little lamb❤❤❤

Mike Bloomfield. He above all others

Buddy Guy and Phil Guy where two Guitarist from Louisiana and Chicago Illinois

Rory Gallagher my Hero

Chicago Slim ! Baby Hughe

Alan Haynes outta Tex, incredible SRV’ish raw traditional blues player!

Where hes Howling Wolf😊

Michael Bloomfield was better than some of the ones that you named.

Billy Gibbons

Could easily add Bloomfield, Ronnie Earl, Peter Green and Gary Moore to name a few.

gary moore,mike bloomfield,3 kings,robert cray and legendary old school players like robert johnson

😊❤

Albert Collins vue trop bon

They Forgot about Albert Collins

Roy Buchanan

Robert cray, jimmy vaughan.. por dios 🙏🏻🇦🇷

Jimmy Hendrix tocando red house deberían escucharlo.

I will also second a vote for Mike Bloomfield. While Joe Bonamassa is good, his mentor Danny Gatton was far better, and probably more influential. Hendrix wasn't known for his blues work, but he was phenominal.

What about Gary Moore?

Keb Mo deserves a shout out too.

Kingfish i met him in Memphis Tennessee when performing at Rum Boogie Cafe

There's No One Greatest. People should just say the Top 10 Most Influential Blues Players, because Everyone of them brings something different to the Table. They Are and Were Great.

robert johnson obviously

Big bill broonzy

You forgot a hugely influential guitarist who influenced Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, and Albert Collins among many others. HIs biggest hit of course, "The Things That I Used to Do." He travelled widely in the South performing all over with his electric guitar in the early fifties. He died before the blues explosion of sixties that brought blues to the attention of white audiences. He was known as Guitar Slim.

One glaring omission. Not only one of the greatest guitarists. But just as importantly the coolest mutha to walk this earth. Ole. Lightnin. Hopkins

Peter Green, the greatest British blues guitar player should absolutely be on this list !

Gary Moore outplays them all when cuts the blues!

Taj Mahal and Peter Green.

Kind of sad not to see Robert Cray here

7:10 song?

where's Michael Bloomfield, and Duane Allman??????????

Hopefully this comment won't be excessively long. First, as has already been mentioned by someone, "greatest" is totally subjective. Variations in opinion are in fact a good thing and to be encouraged. I like everyone on this list, but it isn't my list of the top 30. I personally wouldn't try to compile a list of "the 30 greatest" because my opinions are continuing to evolve and as soon as I finish the list, my opinion will have changed enough to need to redo the list. I also know that "great" does not necessarily equate to "commercially successful". I have been around enough to know that it is very likely that the "greatest" is playing on some street corner somewhere and I have never heard of him or her. In fact, I submit that if I travelled around a bit, I could compile a list of 30 guitarists just as good as those on this list that have never sold a song for money. With that said, the value of lists like this is that they have the capability of opening eyes to some great music that you might not know existed. For instance, Magic Sam has some fame, but not of a magnitude to match his talent. It is quite possible that someone who loves the blues hasn't heard of him. If this list inspires you to listen to some of his music you won't be sorry. With that said, in no particular order, let me provide a list of guitarists not named in the video for you to take a listen to if you want to hear some good blues guitar and expand your appreciation of the genre: Duke Robillard, Kirk Fletcher, Josh Smith, Mike Bloomfield, J Geils (see if you can find some of his stuff not with the J Geils band, which was more pop oriented), Frank Marino (once again look for some of his stuff outside of Mahogany Rush), Lonesome Dave Preverett (I like Foghat but he has some killer blues songs out there outside of Foghat), Ronnie Earl and etc. If you see a name that you aren't familiar with, give him a listen. If you see a name that you know, but only know his work with a rock or pop band, then seen if you can find some of his bluesier stuff. Add some names that you know that the rest of us might not be familiar with so that we can listen.

The list is great. In my opinion the GOAT is SRV.

Duane Allman

John Dawson Winter 3rd

Peter Green has to be before Eric Clapton

Your list missed some really great players Duane Allman Gary Moore Mike Bloomfield Jeff Beck Hendrix and quite a few more

Great that you have added Kingfish, he's still maybe young but great player. Did you think about Chris Duarte, Kenny Wayne Shepherd? Or do you think they aren't as important and influential?

Blind Lemmon Jefferson should have been first and no Mike Bloomfeld? C'mon man.

Jeff Healey

Red House....who played that?

Little Milton Campbell

Walter Trout and Ronnie Earl

Big bone Johnny should have been somewhere near the top of the list.

I think Robert Johnson comes in top 10 All over the world

This list either needed to be extended or recalculated?

you should have put in Gary moore

funny how they never include Mick Taylor.he is definitely one of the best

Lonnie Brooks

And yes Jimi Hendrix he was a blues guitar player contrary to popular belief and the greatest of all time, bar none

I am glad to see that Robben Ford is finally getting some recognition!!!!!!

That list is not complete, whiteout Michael Bloomfield and Duane Allman.

Where is Peter Green.

Blind Blake? Reverend Gary Davis?

Instead of Blind Boy Fuller you should have included Blind Blake because he influenced Rev Gary Davis who taught Fuller.

Fenton robinson

Gary Moore makes the top of this list.

Robert cray is missing!!!

Gary Moore
