I'm a huge Clapton fan, but there are a lot of excellent players out there that are good at what they do and many that will spend their time on the club circuit. There are a lot of underrated that have made it also. I think Ed King was really underrated for Skynyrd and Ted Nugent (I don't care about their politics because it the music is good I'll still listen!).

You mentioned Glen Campbell—recently saw a video of him and Jimmy Webb (piano)together. They performed Webb’s song “McArthur Park.” Best version I’ve heard. Glen sang and of course hit every note (no small feat), then quickly swapped his mike for his guitar and absolutely shredded the song’s bridge. Two peak artists of their time, on stage together, complementing each other.

This song is why I switched from piano to guitar in 1983. I couldn’t find a way to bend notes on a piano. Robbie Blunt is a bit underrated. I also think this is why I prefer single coil Strat/ Tele guitars. Unfortunately I kinda quit playing keys at the same time. Trying to reel that back in, but piano/keyboard is pretty difficult

As far as female guitarists go, I heard Orianthi and Nita Strauss play with Alice Cooper live and they’re both excellent. Nita is more of a shredder, but I prefer Orianthi’s blues style better. Also have to give some love to Jake E Lee, my favorite Ozzy guitarist. That said, Jimi, Uli, and Gilmour are my favorites with a nod to Alex Lifeson and Mike Campbell.

Can’t forget Ronno. One of my favorites.

What’s weird is back in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s I wasn’t into PF at all, but everyone kept saying I sounded a lot like Gilmour. It’s only been the last 20 years or so I really got into their music, and yeah, I hear the similarities. Weird how stuff like that happens.
