Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green

Albert King. The man practically invented the "bending strings" technique. I also 2nd Jimmy D. Lane. Believe Mr. Clapton would agree that Mr. Green is one-up on him.

Use to have the same discussions in grade school. Then our prime choices were Hendrix, Clapton, J. Beck, J. Page. Interesting.

Really difficult to disagree with most of those talents mentioned above, really.

Rel2,

Quite an eloquent, poignant, insightful, and even enjoyable response. Thank you.

For me, Green is the better guitarist of the two.

Audiozen,
Clapton may be very good but there are plenty who are more fluid on the guitar, including Peter Green. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Clapton is a better song writer than most with a terrific voice, which in addition to his outstanding guitar playing capabilities sets him apart from most.

Cody, By the way, Clapton is NOT God, he's just a quality entertainer.
