Peter Green

Peter Green was a co-founder of Fleetwood Mac. Mr. John Mayall, the British blues godfather, hired him in 1965, a man who found more than a few guitarists on this list, and his career took off. John Mayall had originally planned for his band’s guitarist Peter Green to be replaced by none other than Eric Clapton. But it turns out that Clapton, who was further down the list, was the original one he had in mind.

Robin Trower

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