Peter Green

Peter Green was one of Fleetwood Mac’s co-founders. In 1965, he was hired by Mr. John Mayall, the British blues godfather, a man who had discovered more than a few guitarists on this list, and his career took off. Peter Green, John Mayall’s band’s guitarist, was supposed to be replaced by none other than Eric Clapton. However, it turns out that Clapton, who was further down the list, was the one he was originally thinking of.

Robin Trower

Due to his Jimi Hendrix-like skills and alleged ability to bend notes better than any other player alive, Trower was regarded as one of the best guitar players. His guitar playing became even more popular when he was a member of the famous group Procol Harum in the 1960s. Trower’s pinnacle achievement is widely regarded as the album Bridge of Sighs, released in 1974. Trower formed a band with Jack Bruce, the Cream bassist, in the 1980s.
