Maybe not see it as a competition as such, but more of a relevancy list. I think Classic players like Hendrix and Stevie Ray will always be reference points for any generation of future new guitarists. But in the here and now, who is relevant or making contemporary music that inspires the current generation of guitarists is very important. And you Chris, certainly tick that box of being inspiring and current. Keep doing what you’re doing !

⁠@@SandauxBeats That’s all well and good, but regardless of who’s your favorite, Ally Venable belongs on no top 100 guitarists list, for any reason. Chris has no influence or songs, that makes any point to make him so high on that list. He’s my favorite player right now. By right now, I mean KZfaqrs and musicians just starting to make a real mark as a musician. I think Martin Miller feels as sterile as surgical instruments, compared with Chris, and Chris would destroy Albert King on his best day, but he had 60 years of the art style changing, and isn’t just playing straight blues. Jeff Beck did play blues songs, but the majority of his music is so beyond just blues. He is best known for his fusion work. I love his Yardbirds snd Jeff Beck Group stuff, that’s more blues centralized, but it’s far from his best work. It’s like the people who put this out, were purposely doing it to start a reaction, and get eyes on it, or just to see how angry it would make people.

Agreed 100% - Guitar Playing is not a competition - Other players inspire, they challenge your playing, they improve you. It's brilliant that your playing is getting the recognition it deserves, as you do inspire, and have brought great joy through your music. I also love John Mayer and Jeff Healey, amongst many of the other names you mentioned, and they have inspired me in many different (not better or worse ways) and this is the point. How can something so subjective as music ever be ranked, and something that is so subjective it can change based on this listeners mood, or circumstanes. Sometimes the best thing i've ever heard is Healey tearing up "As the years go passing by" othertimes i'd much rather hear Mayer play "Walt Grace" But one things for sure love listening to Mr Buck play ! Can't wait to hear the new album - and seeing you on that famous stage at Shepherds Bush come Autumn

It is wonderful to see that there are new things happening in guitar, even given all the history that we lived through. The way you can take a solo, hit every note and propel it to ever greater heights every time the listener thinks it could not possibly go any higher is truly spectacular. The combination of melodicism, virtuosity, taste and tone is absolutely unique .... and how nice that you are just as much of a great nerd than all the rest of us :-)

It is not about praising anybody. The main thing is to start a discussion about....nothing. And to provoke people to make controversial statements in order to produce misunderstanding. There is no way to compare an afro-american guitarist/vocalist (in an afro-american genre) from 1929 to some white guitarist from Northern America or Europe in the 21st century. It should not be about competion as mentioned in the video. There is no praise including someone in a list or rating who realized that and does not want to be any part because of it. Again - these lists are made to get attention not to praise anybody and people who are writing those lists do not care if some of their "praised" guitarists will get negative feedback and have to explain themselves to whatever public and have to deal with it.

Well said, Chris. It's nice to hear a terrific player who is also grounded, opinion and outlook wise. In the 70s, I was in a great trio doing Cream/Butterfield stuff and we were hijacked by a stranger who declared himself as our manager. The greatest band in our city had broken up a few months previously, and the guitar player was my hero. Our manager spoke to him, without our knowledge, and invited him to a gig to consider joining the band. He came to the gig and left as a member. I was thrilled, but thought I'd just become a rhythm player. I was very wrong. The next three years were the greatest fun and learning experience ever. Anyone who's in the game to best other players isn't a true musician at heart, and they miss the greatest part of the experience.

The nicest, most considered and justified rant ever. Keep doing what you do Chris. (But well done for getting on the list anyway!). See you in Southampton!

❤ Very wisely said, coming from a respectable and respected musician ! 😂 Even better to end the video with an absolutely smoking, hot solo performance with awesome tone and feel ❤

I wasn't surprised u were in there, there needs to be space for current players in these kind of lists & it's a great way to find newer musicians.

I agree with the poll. You're a fantastic player but you're also very humble.

I usually say that the appeal of these Greatest Ever lists (musician, album, film, book, video game, TV series, athlete...) is not in arguing over their placement in the ranking, but in reading the praise that the publication has written alongside each entry. If you're lucky, a good writer will be able to write about ones you're familiar with in a way that sums up what you like about them - or will be able to make a name you've never heard of sound worth checking out.

You are one of the best guitar players ever, both technically and also for posessing that "it just hits so sweetly" factor, which is so rare. I think you sit among the likes of David Gilmour and Steve Rothery, as well as others in the rock and prog genre. I take your point; these names you mention are blues giants. You must feel humbled and abashed to be named amongst. But your video is on the money: it's about inclusion, controversy, and money/sales. Congratulations in any case. You do deserve the accolades. Truly.

Dude, I consider you to be one of the guitar world's most unsung heroes. Not about popularity, though such popularity could/should easily be yours.

The best are often the humblest. Those out to prove something are lessened (at least in my eyes). You deserve to be in the conversation, just don't let it go to your head :D

Chris, your attitude is refreshing and surprisingly honest. Be proud that your fans felt strongly enough to vote you onto the list of the best blues players. Maybe the placement at 27 is a bit…..premature let’s say, but there’s no shame in saying, “Hey, it’s very cool to be on this list!” It’s ok to give yourself a little pat on the back. On another note, sometimes it does seem that there is a bit of competition between some of the Nashville cats. They do seem to enjoy trying to out do one another.

You deserve some great credit Chris. Whatever the number on whatever list… you now have an identifiable style and sound that has moved forward from many of your earlier pioneers.
