Quote:

Even though Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix are considered guitar icons, I would nominate the following in their respective categories as being among the best guitarists ever to put finger to string:

Rock/Blues: Mark Knopfler

12 string: Leo Kotke

Spanish/classical: Segovia




My nominations would be:

Rock/Blues: Jimmy Page + Ritchie Blackmore

Jazz/Jazz Rock: John Mclaughlin + Al Di Meola

Spanish/classical: Paco Di Lucia
