Eric Clapton is a guitar genius, a prodigy of the axe. Many publications have rated, from top to bottom, the best guitarists over the years, and frankly it’s fairly common to find Eric in the Top 5 of any list.

1.) Jimi Hendrix
2.) Duane Allman
3.) B.B. King

Those also making our top list include Keith Richards, George Harrison, Mike Bloomfield, U2’s Edge, Mark Knopfler, Steven Stills and Buddy Guy.
