 seen him twice .. he is great guitarist .. BUT an innovator ? .. there again when I wrote influential, that could mean 'influencing' how people play the geetar rather than bringing a whole new style or technique to the genre ..if yer no wot I meenflyingkiwiDK said:Has anyone mentioned Blues Rock guitarist Walter Trout yet?

 Neil Young makes it, but Stephen Stills doesn't?

 As much as I worship the ground Keith Richards walks on, and he is a good guitarist, he just isn't the fifth best guitarist of all time.Meaningless twaddle. 0

            This one is perhaps less contentious, although you'll never get agreement. https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-guitarists-of-all-time 0

 Nice to see England Captain Booby Moore make the top one hundred on that list.

            My list of influential guitarists would be:
 Charlie Christian - developed the guitar pickup
 Les Paul - developed the solid body electric guitar which bears his name
 Hank Marvin - influenced countless school boys and girls to pick up the guitar
 Jimi Hendrix - revolutionised playing - wrong note, fuck off I'm playing like Hendrix
 Slash - influenced a newer generation of school boys and girls to pick up the guitar.

 Greenie (the guitarist) is a terrible omission. I'd also add Steve Vai.Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:

 Good shout too for Albert Lee whoever mentioned him earlier.
 I also thought @Padd@PaddyP17 would have given Lee Ritenour a shout.
 And what about Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa and Joe Satriani?0

            SRV and Lonnie Mack a blues/rock duet made in heaven - now sadly residing there.
 Love this video, old fashioned, organic, plug and play, brilliant, tone to die for.
