Your list is full of blues legends! Each of these names left an important mark on music, especially blues. It’s hard to make a complete list, but these artists deserve all the recognition for the impact they had on the genre. Thanks for sharing these incredible names!

no Blind Lemon Jefferson, Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson, Reverand Gary Davis, Mance :Lipscomb?? (Some might say Willie and Gary were religious singers, not a blues singers. But both are helluva guitarists!!)

These are incredible names that definitely deserve recognition! Blind Lemon Jefferson, Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson, Reverend Gary Davis, and Mance Lipscomb were phenomenal guitarists who influenced many musicians. Thanks for mentioning these great artists!

Hi, first of all I want to say that I really enjoyed of this video, any die-hard blues fan knows that it is very difficult to narrow down great artists like them to 30 places. That being said, i will mention very influential artists like Charley patton, big joe Williams, Robert Nighthawk, Lightnin' Slim, hop wilson, Steve Cropper And of course many others have already mentioned before me here in the comments.

@BackingTrackCenter 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much for the comment and support! I completely agree, it's very difficult to narrow down so many incredible artists to just 30. Charley Patton, Big Joe Williams, Robert Nighthawk, and the others you mentioned are all legends that deserve recognition. I'll consider these suggestions for future lists.

Mike Bloomfield is not on the list due to limited space, but I agree that he is an extremely influential guitarist. I’m glad you noticed the inclusion of Luther Allison, who is also often overlooked. Thanks for your comment!

@@BackingTrackCenter Funny story.. I was at Legends one night and Buddy was supposed to get up and play but Luther showed up, played a set and smoked the place… When people looked for Buddy someone said.. “Buddy slipped out the back, he’s not going on after Luther” 😂🤣😂 anyway… thanks for the list… it’s a tough one but at least you got Otis and Luther in there… Oh and because he was such an eclectic guitar player, most people don’t realize that Jeff Beck could bury Ford, Moore and Clapton when it comes to playing the blues… Peter Green… Peter had a tone and touch that was rare. But Beck could play any style, any speed, better than anyone… Every guitar players guitar god was Beck…

@BackingTrackCenter 3 месяца назад

Lonnie Johnson was a pioneer and influenced many musicians with his unique style. This list aimed to name 30 great guitarists in blues history, so it's inevitable that some great ones, like Lonnie Johnson, were left out. Thanks for mentioning him!

@BackingTrackCenter 3 месяца назад

You’re right, Chuck Berry had a huge influence on blues and rock with his characteristic use of double stops. He definitely deserves recognition, but it’s worth noting that his influence on rock was even more significant. Songs like "Johnny B. Goode" and "Roll Over Beethoven" shaped the sound of rock 'n' roll and inspired generations of rock guitarists. Thanks for commenting!
