Peter Green

Peter Green was born in London, England, and was a co-founder of Fleetwood Mac. In 1965, he was hired by Mr. John Mayall, the British blues godfather, a guy who had discovered more than a few guitarists on this list, and his career took off. In truth, the guitarist who Peter Green replaced in John Mayall’s band was none other than Eric Clapton, who, as you might assume, is farther down this list.

Robin Trower

Trower was born and raised in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Due to his Jimi Hendrix-like powers and his ability to bend notes better than any other musician alive, he was regarded as one of the best guitarists of his time. His guitar playing got even more prominent when he was a member of the famed group Procol Harum in the 1960s. Trower’s pinnacle achievement is widely regarded as the album Bridge of Sighs, released in 1974. Trower created a band with Jack Bruce, Cream’s bassist, in the 1980s.
