Poll: Your Favorite British Guitarist

Mick Taylor, Paul Kossoff, Clapton and Dave Davies are behind him for the Top 5.

 

Oh man of course he he , how could I forget that??...

 

Jeff Beck without question....

 

Kevin Shields

EDIT D'oh. forgot he is Irish - gonna vote Beck

 

That’s because he’s a wizard at both electric and acoustic. Genius.

 

But, Ireland is, arguably, one of the British Isles, at least geographically speaking. Of course its then a bit of a leap to call Rory Gallagher a Brit.....

 

you are correct...apologies.

 

I need some better choices

 

Please recommend me some of his best works

 

Phillip "Snakefinger" Lithman!!!!!

 

I'm sorry if your favorite guitarist isn't on the list. I've tried the best I can hehe. But I've made a terrible mistake: we got two Steve Jones on the list.

 

The one and only Bob.

 

Tony Iommi
Brian May
Brian Robertson

 

Favourite - Mick Green.

Should've had Albert Lee on the list, he's A List. Dave Edmunds too. John McGeoch, keith Levene, James Honeyman Scott are worthy of mention. Etc etc...

 

I’ll forgive you for not including Steve Rothery on the list. Hell, Allan Holdsworth and Andy Latimer should be on there as well.

 

Gary Moore.

 

As a massive Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac fan I have to choose Peter over Danny but Danny's style was pretty exceptional. That vibrato is outrageous. I think where he loses out to Peter for me is that his improvisational skills were more limited and Peter's tone is as good as it gets. Mind you, Danny was only just turned 18 when he joined the Mac and was just 20 when Peter left so I don't want to be too harsh a judge and his skills allowed Peter to move forward with his music. The pair of them were the natural successors to Hank Marvin in many ways and I mean that as the highest possible compliment.

 

Gary Moore was a Northern Irish guitarist and not a Brit.

 

I picked richard thompson and makes my short very short list of my favorites of all time from anywhere!

 

STEVE HACKETT

 

A phenomenal choice!

 

Northern Ireland is in Great Britain!!

 

Interesting no Alvin Lee.

Jeff Beck
Mick Taylor
Alvin Lee
Peter Green


Honorable mentions

John McLaughlin
Paul Kossoff
Keith Richards
Rory Gallagher
Eric Clapton
Allan Holdsworth

 

If he's from Northern Ireland he's British. Do we have to go over this again?

 

So Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton are English guitarists, and not Brits?
