UK Blues guitarists - your favorites?

I have 3:

Peter Green (orig Fleetwood Mac), Mick Taylor (Mayall, Stones) & Dave Edmunds. If you don't consider Edmunds a Blues player, listen:



(The Stumble is a Freddie King song) - The whole LP Love Sculpture - Blues Helping is Blues. And a lot of his later stuff is blues-based.

Over to you...

 

Tony McPhee
Terry Reid
Peter Green
Rory Gallagher - he was Irish ...but no list of the great Blues Guitarists or any Guitar player should ignore him.

 

Def. Green and Gallagher.

 

Whoops
Gallagher is not UK.
Guy initialed E.C. Pretty good.
Kim Simmonds.

 

Alvin Lee
Peter Green
Eric Clapton

Hon. Mention - Stan Web

 

Ritchie Blackmore.
Jimmy Page.
Eric Clapton.

They may be great rock guitarists but these guys can really belt out the blues.

 

I totally agree with 3 of your choices but Terry Reid? A blues guitarist? Really??

 

Pete

 

EC, Page, Mick Taylor, Rory Gallagher (yes he's Irish, but he absolutely belongs on the list).

 

Mick Taylor
Peter Green
Alvin Lee
Eric Clapton
Jeff Beck
Paul Kossoff
Kim Simmonds
Tony McPhee
Rory Gallagher

 

Mick Abrahams

 

Eric Bell too.

 

Clapton may have abandoned his blues roots for a time but he deserves to be on any list of great British blues guitarists.
Add Tony McPhee, Paul Kossoff, Peter Green, Mick Abrahams, Jeremy Spencer & Mick Taylor.

 

My favourite UK blues guitarist isn't a guitarist, but a bassist.

Colin Hodgkinson.

 

He's great and now in the revamped Ten Years After.

 

I'm not sure I can do better than those. Maybe throw in Danny Kirwan.

 

Peter Green is my favourite by a very wide margin.

 

Jon Amor
Aynsley Lister
Matt Schofield

 

Peter Green
Mick Taylor
Jimmy Page
Paul Kossoff
Gary Moore

 

Rory Gallagher is Irish so he should not appear on this list. OK . Thank you!

Or to put it another way, why not include Hendrix, Bloomfield, BB etc....

 

In my List: Peter Green is the number one ! He had a fascinating tone and a beautiful phrasing, unmatched until now.
follow by Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor

 

Peter Green, and Jeff Beck is a great blues player when he chooses, but he usually takes a different path.

 

Peter Green.

 

I think that Clapton (IMO) had 2 great Blues moments - Much of Layla and this, which I think has the single best solo he ever played:

 

There's a name that definitely deserves to be mentioned in front of all these rock players.

I've seen him live twice; he's phenomenal.
