Well finally someone mentions - Alvin Lee! One of the best
performances from Woodstock (the real one). I have been observing the
choices and so many are so good. But not being a musician, and tuning
much more in to voices and the song as a whole, I didn't feel really
qualified . So I tried to think of which guitarists songs or their
actual performances have stood out in my memory since the mid 60's. As
far as really looking at their body of work besides Joni and Jimi I am
no connoisseur. I do remember great moments with Carlos Santana &
Alvin Lee. Also remembering Jeff Beck and David Gilmour enough to add
them. So I can't add either! Actually when I saw Santana he opened for
Clapton, note he does not make my list. Even if my list would go on,
although I adore Cream, - Stevie Ray and a good many Blues guitarist
(being from Chicago) would surpass Clapton. Who I see as an impostor in
the Blues world. I am ready to be stoned now - have at me. This in no
way started out as a Clapton bashing, he just seems so diluted the past
10 years or so.
Peace
