Eric Clapton plays some of the best blues guitar I've ever heard. Santana has more of a Latin flavour although he is definitely classic rock. Some names that should be on this list are Phil Keagy and Jimi Hendrix. Keagy is the best I've ever heard.

Jimmy page should be on the list, number one in my eyes, and on my ears.

I agree it was a hard choice between Jeff and Eric, but what about David Gilmore also. One of the best. but always left out because Pinks type of music. And Jimmy Page wasn't all just glamour either.

I voted for Keith Richards mainly because if you listen to his play, he has those rock'n roll chords.. always! Yes , the other featured guitarists are fabulous, but varied in a lot of styles of blues, (yes rock is part blues) . But if you really wanted to have someone play a rock 'n roll version of say some Chuck Berry's, with those chords and some tasteful licks, Keith has been doing it for a long time. Definitely no offense to all others, a tricky poll. lol. Hey maybe even try playing good guitar on a heavy buzz back in the late 60's.. Thanks for the vote.
