Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green


I know Clapton is God, but is he a better blues guitarist than Peter Green.

I have been lucky enough to see Buddy Guy, Clapton, and SRV live. For sheer power of show, SRV hands down. Most fun to watch was Albert Collins and the Ice breakers. About 8 or 9 years ago at the Chicago blues fest, I saw a texas guitar night with Albert Collins, Luther Allison, and Otis Rush. Wow what a show. Have a listen to " Can't always get what you want" on the Stone tribute album. Luther Allison really smokes.
Garfish indeed I have been lucky. I lived in Oak Park and spent a lot of time at the blues clubs in Chicago. Nothing beats hearing a good band in a club. Back in the 70's ( man I'm feeling old) I saw Muddy Waters and still think his band was the best. Blkadar- I have lots of A. King. He was a master. Its too bad so many of the greats are gone.
Dennisn, I had a most of Johnny's Album and have replaced them with cds. I love his work with Muddy. I have a Johnny solo album "nothing but the Blue" with a great track I think its called "the sun is shining". James Cotton intros the song with some great harmonica. Guess I'll buy the CD. PS- On Guitar Slinger- the bass player and drummer are the Ice Breakers ffrom Albert Collins. They are great.
