I've watched this video several times in the past. Jeff is one of my all time favourite guitarists. In my opinion far superior to Page or Clapton who seem to get all the plaudits.

Hi, I like Clapton but he is overated, don't like Page.
Do you ever listen to Ronnie Earl

Yes I like Ronnie Earl. Heard his stuff with The Broadcasters and also a collaboration with another of my favourite guitarists Warren Haynes along with Derek Trucks.

You may already know this performance but I make no apologies as I can watch this everyday and never get tired of this song and the solo is wonderful.

Would agree that Jeff Beck is probably both a more innovative and technically better guitar player than many-including Clapton-but asking who is the best guitarist is fraught with the same issues as asking who is the greatest painter or footballer. Aside from questions of personal choice and technical ability v artistic flair, it's very much about genre too.

I like and listen to quite a broad spectrum of music but guess my personal preferences are for more Blues based guitar players and so find Clapton "easier on the ear" than Beck. As a player I can appreciate the skills and dexterity of many accomplished guitarists-but I don't necessarily like everything they do!

For myself I like classic electric Blues and Blues based rock players such as BB King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, Mike Bloomfield, SRV, Clapton, Rory Gallagher, John Lee Hooker, Gary Moore and (of course!) Chuck Berry and Hendrix. But I also enjoy jazz players like Django Reinhardt and Wes Montgomery, rockabilly guitarists like Brian Setzer and Darrel Higham, classical guitarists John Williams and Julian Bream, acoustic folk players like Paul Simon and soul/funk guitarists like Steve Cropper, Cornell Dupree and Nile Rodgers. There are many others too from various genres including Johnny Marr, Ali Farka Toure, Samantha Fish, Randy Rhodes, Mark Lettieri and Mike Dawes. The list can become pretty endless!

Here is one of the new kids on the block, again you may already know him.

Hold on a minute, you’ve forgotten the very best British blues guitarist bar none in the late, great Peter Green. If he were still with us WBA53 would be on your case about this
