Well, my favourite blues guitarists are rock guitarists who have blues song. However, for purists, I'd say Howlin' Wolf, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon

Interesting information thanks. I was confident he played the guitar along with the standup bass and vocals of course. Perhaps I am wrong.

not saying he couldnt play guitar im sure he could...but his thing was the bass and of course probably the best blues composer of all time...he played the bass on all of Chuck Berry's 50's recordings and many of Bo Diddley's and Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf...waters and wolf played many songs composed by him....

He was class personified. And a great guitarist: tasteful, he didn't need to fill every space with notes. But every note he played meant something.
