Who is your favorite blues guitarist

BLIND BLAKE played alot of ragtime as well as the blues, but ROBERT JOHNSON (as a guitar player) was just one of many phenomenal musicians in his time. B.BLAKE is pictured using a primitive looking acoustic guitar, so i would suggest that if someone had ever handed BB an Electric guitar, he would have done something similar to what Art Tatum could do on the piano. my guess is that it was his use of the thumb doing very complex bass lines while busy fingerpicking the melody, but it sure as heck sounded like a piano when he played. btw, he also played the piano...
i have all four alblums on "Biograph" records in case anyone is wondering if i made all of this up.
as for Stevie Ray, i think he would disagree with many of you guys. because when i saw him play in one of his last concerts, his last selection was by Jimi Hendrix; at the end of the song he gently placed the guitar (still feeding back the final notes) on the stage and walked off as the lights dimmed...

One of my favourites is Kelly Joe Phelps.
Mississippi Fred McDowell does it for me too.

SRV, to me, both musically and technically is unbeatable.

YEOWWW!
How could I forget Brother Duane Allman?

I would include many of the artists already mentioned among the best but I have to add Eric Clapton. Anyone who says he's too white or too rich is deaf. The man can play the blues.
