- Today we are going to look at the Top blues guitarists of 2021. I believe this video needed to be made to bring awareness to the current blues talent of today. I hope you all enjoy the video.
By the way, Eric Gales, Matt Schofield, Robben Ford, & Derek Trucks are my favorites on this list.

Young man................. I'm just shakin' my ol' head over the fact that YOU are into the ol' school, new school Blues. I can go to my grave knowin' the Blues is gonna go on & on through young men like you keepin' it up front & personal. Thank you.
❤🙏🏾
@emiljustain977 You and me both Brother! And that could be any day now for this old BluesHand........
I'm guessing you've heard the three way guitar duel between Joe Bonamassa, Josh Smith and Tommy Emmanuel. Mind blowing!
They carry the torch handed in the 60s and 70s by the late Albert King, BB King, Freddie King, Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman, Paul Kossoff, Mike Bloomfield, Gary Moore, Alvin Lee, Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher, Roy Buchanan, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Peter Green, Pete Haycock, Danny Kirwan, Rod Price, Kim Simmonds, Jeff Healey, and the ones who are still among us, Robin Trower, Mick Taylor, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Buddy Whittington, Billy Gibbons, Buddy Guy, Warren Haynes, Ry Cooder, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Walter Trout, Jim McCarthy, and many more.
This young man Kingfish Ingram is just phenomenal!..
Thats a fact!
this is the truth, love me some Kingfish
This is an amazing video 🤟😎 doing what you love paying off...I watched all the way through and I am DIGGING it. 😆
Thanks bro I appreciate it, glad u liked the video
Wonderful , i enjoyed every minute. and you were SPOT ON with the 2 best . I'm a fan. Whats next? I'm wait'in
Stay tuned!
Great as they are, they're all obvious choices. Plenty of other 'unsung' blues guitarists around today who are also helping to keep the genre alive and kicking too!
The most choice of clips, man you nailed it!
❤❤
bro thnx for putting these greats together!
No prob champ 💪🏾
Your list is spot on. Thank you.
🤟🏾
Solid list!! Great stuff……
Some serious talent there. Kingfish and Marcus King stood out the most to me and then that guitar duel between Eric and Joe at the end is next level. Great vid.
Thanks!!
Loved. your list - can't argue with any of your choices. I've been loving Schofield, Smith, and Gales for quite a few years now and yet most music lovers have never heard of them. And so glad you included Robben Ford. If you haven't heard it, listen to him paying tribute to Paul Butterfield Blues Band, especially "Got a MInd to Give Up Living" and "Work Song". Keep doing what you're doing Devon. I'd love to see more videos like this. You'll never get everyone to agree with you, as it's one man's opinion.
Thank you! ❤ 🙏🏾
So pleased that we are talkin' bout some blues.
Oh yea! 🤘🏾
Can’t argue with any of these! Kirk Fletcher, Chris Caine, guy King and Eric Gales for me… but your list is on point, I love them all.
Thanks. I'm allways Happy when Blues is do'ing well.
🤘🏾
Love the GC Jr pick. Seen him a time or three in Austin
Great Video!
Thanks!
I really like seeing you bopping along to and getting pumped to the solos in your little box 😊 we're on the nice side of the internet here folks!
❤️❤️
Bravo !
You spot on it bro, I saw Robin Trower when I was 16(1976) being the only Black guy in the Civic Arena, Pittsburgh PA didn't phase me. I'm a guitar fiend and don't even play guitar. I play drums and bass.
I understand where ur coming from sir. I understand
Awesome man...🤘
Thanks bro!
Haven't heard until now and just make mine Emil's words. Way to go Devon, way to go, pass for your kids. Thanks a bunch a my best regards.
❤️🤟🏾
Man, you picked the same litter as I prefer. Bravo!
You’re amazing. All of these musicians are fuckin amazing. I am in awe 😍 🙌🏼🙌🏼🎸
🙏🏾🤘🏾
No arguments from me , young brother. Glad you included Samantha Fish, would loved to see Joanne Conner as well.
She'll be in an updated list
Nice work brother, much love
🤘🏾
I like this list 👍
As someone who grew up listening to classic rock/metal, I’ve become such a Gary Clark jr. Fan boy since I started learning guitar and getting into blues music. Him, SRV, and ZZ top.
Great list!
❤️🙏🏾
Kingfish is the man! My husband and I have been playing slotted years & the young talent coming is amazing bless all of u 4 keeping the blues alive. Us old schoolers r in awe we need u to keep it going remember gospel and blues is where it all came from
I'd never heard of Marcus King before - Just wow !!!
Glad to see Josh Smith getting some love. I have been watching him since he was a teenager in So. Fla. I wish more people were aware of his skills.
I know, makes no sense to, same thing with guy king & matt Schofield
Me too. At the old Club M in Hollywood with the Rhino Cats.
A nice appraisal. I agree with your reply to someone else...favourite is very much mood-dependant, so many great players to choose from. My current favourites are Eric Gales and Josh Smith live (together or individually), and I mentioned in a reply on another of your vids, Greg Koch (who deserves much more recognition imho). These three players can always surprise me (I like rock and some other genres too, so mixing styles seamlessly really appeals to me). Joe Bonamassa has a lot of variety in his catalogue too, what with his own stuff, Black Country Communion rock, and the soulful side with Beth Hart.
I'm really enjoying the variety in your approach to this channel, good stuff! How far into rock do you think you'll go? (I'll stay with you even if you keep it mostly blues, which is mostly what I play when I pick up a guitar).
Well, I have a band, I will be doing a Blues-Rock/soul approach, kinda like what gary clark is doing.
@@Devon_Rismay Sounds cool. Look forward to hearing it here :)
@@nickcrisp7252 🤘🏾
GOOD VID MATE, learnt a bit too, cheers.
Cheers!
Loved your video. Loved your list. But I would make one revision: SLASH - Orgy of the Damned. I've heard a lot of great Blues guitar, but I just sat there, frozen, with my jaw hanging, like an idiot, staring at the computer monitor the first time I heard it.
Great taste.
Thank you kindly
Such a great list! Eric Gales is a force and love Walter Trout cause he just let’s it loose
❤️🤟🏾
Never heard of Damon Fowler before, thank you!
🤟🏾🤟🏾
Your list is right on..I wouldn't do anything to change it other than to add to it. Maybe top 50? If you haven't done it yet, look up Robbin Ford playing with Miles Davis. I think you'll dig it.
Oh yea, I seen that video, it was awesome
Joe my man when he has a guitar in his hand he's making first class music
Agreed
Gary Clark Jr. knows how to find ways to make his own style of blues. I like how he takes relatively simple bends and patterns but finds different ways to use them. It creates his unique sound. He stands out with the structure and soul of his playing.
Facts
That little lick that Eric does right at 17:05 is incredible. I’ve never heard anything quite like it. I’ll have to look again, I don’t think he touched the pick-up selector. But somehow with his attack he gets this crazy tone on that. 🤘🏻🎸
He's out of this world
Good list! A couple of additions in my opinion might be Albert Cummings, Tab Benoit, Larry McCray, and my personal favorite slide player, Sonny Landreth. A few women to check out aside from Samantha Fish. Ana Popovic, Anni Piper, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Sadie Johnson, and Erja Lyytinen. All are worthy guitar players.
Great list, so many great blues players out there
Wow.
🤘🏾
JOHN MAYERS LOOKING AT BB AND TRUCKS LIKE I GOT NOTHING LOL
Gary Clark Jr., seems to have the best feel of them all. Marcus King, he's got it going on. Derek Truks is a master. Eric Gales tops the list by far man. Couple other guys I've watched who have good chops are William Cann, Philip Sayce, and Audley Freed.
Philip is awesome
Sure, there are some really technically great blues guitarists out there, right now. But I still like to listen to early blues. They all seemed to have their own style. They were singing about their own lives. They were making it up all along. So much blues/rock today sounds like something I've already heard.
I feel u on that for sure
The first time I came across Eric Gales I was hooked! Before I saw this I said he is the best blues guitar player in the world.
All facts
Bro, good list, but don’t forget the great Eric Clapton, legend of legends is still among the living. No doubt many of the players on your list would agree! 😊
Indeed!!
You are correct with your list, but you forgot a few Such as Johnny Lang, Stevie Ray Vaughn, B.B. King and Kenny Wayne Sheperd. All of these folks are phenomenal on their own.
I'm new in to the blues but I always liked it if that makes since the guy I'm really into right now Kenny Wayne Shepherd thought on him and any other guys I should listen to I like Gary Clark Jr thanks for putting him up there so I could look him up
Anytime
Would like to see you react to Allman Brothers "Stormy Monday" Live at Fillmore album.
👍🏾
Great list man! Check out Ray Beadle from Australia. He needs a place on this list. Top 5 alive in my little down under opinion. I can't sit still either when i listen to all these cats. Like electricity running through me.
I'll check him out
Kingfish will keep the blues safe and sound for the next 50 years.
True indeed
Love this list. But I think even though he’s known more for his pop music, John Mayer deserves a spot in here. When he wants to go full blues mode, he’s absolutely fantastic
Very true
Lots of great players on this video. Might wanna check out Oz Noy though.
I'll check him out.
Walter Trout is a Blues Legend!!
true, I got to see him in concert with Eric Gales a few years back at the Caverns @ Pelham TN. Rocking good time it was and they ended the night on stage together to throw down on some Catfish Blues
I saw this list. Except for king fish and that’s going to change when he comes to Nashville. I didn’t want shows to end👍🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🇺🇸😁
Kingfish is a bad man!
Clark has the Hendrix vibe...love it.
TAKE A LOOK AT IOWA TOO! THX!
Two things Brotha: Don't you dare sell yourself short! Period. Next, Monster Mike Welch. Just my two cents. Much Love going forward!
Oh, yea he's good!
@@Devon_Rismay Yes my friend, Monster Mike has put in the work just as I have. But you my friend, are destined for big things in the future. I wish I could be there to hug your neck. You are a true Bluesman. And if I might add, someone this dieing old BluesHand finds very compelling!
@rodani51 thanks sir! Just doing my part to keep the Blues alive!!🤟🏾
Please check out Mato Nanji from Indigenous, he is also on the Experience Hendrix tour. you just might change your list and add him . haha.
I'll check him out
Great suggestion.
He played at all of the Experience Hendrix
tours that I've gone to over the years.
Josh Smith ... Matt .......... gotta be the best...Eric Is amazing ................... SRV ..............
Yooooooooo
I like your list, but for me Derek Trucks is the best today.. His skill and tone is 2nd to none.. Gales and Bonamassa are bad ass players, but to me their playing is too fast for the most part.. Albert King told SRV once that there is a lot of good guitar players out there but they play fast and don't play with soul, and I tend to agree.. But you do have some great players on your list..
I wouldnt argue the point with Derek, depending on my mood, I suppose I'd have him as the best blues player. But I've also seen joe & gales play with ridiculous soul as well. So that's why I have em at the top.
Totally agree. Derek is the best living guitar player out there right now and not just his slide playing. He is also a band leader who conducts and arranges performances by the best live band in the land these days. Have a soft spot for Eric Gales cause he's a lefty. Joe B just doesn't excite me as much as many others do......as I type this I am listening to and watching Jimi play live, Red House after Hear My Train A Comin (Royal Albert Hall February 1969). It's an immaculate recording and everyone else is second best by a long shot😎🎸🔥🔥
@@paulprendergast3184 red house by Jimi live at Woodstock is what got me started playing 13 years ago.
@@Devon_Rismay the whole show is killer. Check out this sample.

Has it all been done?
Scholfield is awesome, Fletcher is a beast also. Whoever gave Marcus King that guitar with the tag might as well give to him for free. Eric Gayles and Bonamassa are giants.
All are great
Check out taj farrant from Australia he started at 3 hes 13 now hes a virtuoso hes played with most of the peeps on this list already especially his early videos are so awesome
Oh yea, he's great
what do you thinck about Chris Cain?
I love chris cain! A master!
Maybe if they keep,trying they could be as great as Rory Gallagher. R.I.P.
You would love Ally Venable she is an awesome blues player has a song w Buddy Guy song Texas n Louisiana
Seen her myself, she's great!
How about a modern soul list? We’ve got Black Puma, Alabama shakes, HER for starters…
I could, But I'm trying to make this a guitar focused channel
Sad I know all of them... haha. I really have a hard time finding some new unknown guitar talents.
Wayy to many talented guitarist out there.
Hey man you should add RAMA SATRIA he is incredibly insane!
I'll check him out
And jd simo?
Philip sayce
Tinsley Ellis.
How did Kenny Wayne Shepherd not make your list?!
Forgot at the time 🤦🏾♂ brain fart
You missed the best traditional Chicago-style blues guitarist out there today... Nick Moss.
I'll check him out
Get a chance to listen Eric Steckel. That guy is out of this world.
He is a monster!
@@Devon_Rismay he is. I wish I could play close to his style
@@elbenja16 keep practicing youll get there
for females you may want to check out Samantha Fish ans Larkin Poe
I have Samantha in the video
Coco Mantoya
I've watched the video of Joe and Eric cuttin heads so many times it's not funny. Classic show of two greats on one of Joe's sponsored blues cruise.
There is a Dutch Blues guitarist that bears a listen by the name of BAS PAARDEKOOPER. Watch a live video of an original song titled : "HER SILENT CRIES".
You will enjoy it I'm sure.
Great list - It’s Robin Ford not Ruben bro
Yea that came out wrong
Hi 👋from the UK 🇬🇧 something you might like to check out the Japanese band called band maid it's an all girl Japanese band and these girls can rock 🎸
Band maid the song is called play live world domination tour 2020
Band maid freedom live world domination tour 2020
Also check out Ayreon this is made up of different singers and musicians from other bands
Ayreon the day that the world breaks down
Big fan of that band, but I got u
Joe Bonamassa is good, but he just doesn't appeal to me the way Danny Gatton, his mentor, did. One not on here is Tom Principato. He played with Danny Gatton and Roy Gallagher.
Eric Gales should be number 1 seeing that the blues rock torch was passed from bonamassa to him
Just see that, & I predicted it! 🤘🏾 so happy for eric
@@Devon_Rismay I've played with Christone I'd love to talk guitar and music. Email me
@@chrissmealband8417 what's your email
Iloveguitarhendrix@gmail.com
Check fillipe dias from my city São Paulo , brazil ….
Great list so many great blues guitarist and yes from what I've heard you too! Along with Joe Bonamassa, Buddy Guy, Johnny Lang, Derek Trucks and wife Susan Tedeschi both child prodigies as well my favorites. BB King during Rock Me Baby at Royal Albert Hall shamelessly flirts with Susan and Derek, pretty funny. Tedeschi Trucks Band, Royal Albert Hall "The Sky is Crying" th-cam.com/video/iWPntKAWvHs/w-d-xo.html
I got u
Jd Simo
I'll have to add him for sure
I should have made the list,....
Then,.. there would have a whole jungle of monkeys laughing!!!🤣🤣🤣✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾GREAT VIDEO!! Thank You so much!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🥇🥇🥇🙏🏽🙏🏽🛠💰🛠💰🛠💰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
Spot-on list. Maybe thrown in KWS, though. Glad to see S. Fish mentioned. Check out this tone. th-cam.com/video/GFPSkNpNO6c/w-d-xo.html
Damn, I knew I forgot someone
Popa Chubby? Jonny Lang? Kenny Wayne Shepherd? ...?
I'll make a Pt 2
Fantastic. My favorite today is Kingfish but you omitted my all time …..CLAPTON.
I just do not know why Eric Gales isn't the biggest name in that genre, even Joe reckons he's the greatest blues guitarist in the world, , ,bar none ! Oh ! you skipped over Philip Sayce my friend, if you have not heard of him you are seriously missing out, , he is a very serious contender.
Yea & I forgot kenny as well, I will make an updated list very soon
VERY GOOD SHIT BUT....... ROY BUCHANAN TORE IT UP!!!!!
One of the greatest unknown guitarist
i would add atleast one female Erja Lyytinen
Had Samantha fish on the list........
@@Devon_Rismay Joanna Conner plays a mean slide, but hasn't gotten the public interest. She is probably the most famous guitarist that plays in bars and private social events.
DID MY MAN SAY RUBEN FORD? LOL
Don't know why it came out like that
@@Devon_Rismay ITS ALL GOOD, WHO CARES, ITS ALL LOVE! YOU AND I ARE ON THE SAME QUEST! ONE DAY WELL PLAY TOGETHER IM SURE! I FEEL YOUR PASSION FOR THIS MUSIC....THE LAST 2 YEARS, 10 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, I DEDICATED MY LIFE TO THE BLUES...BUILT A STUDIO IN MY HOUSE, JUST FINISHED WRITING MY ALBUM....I ALWAYS COULD SING MY ASS OFF....I DID 10 YEARS OF GUITAR WORK, IN 22 MONTHS, AUGUST 18TH WILL BE 2 YEARS....GOOD LUCK, GOD BLESS!,,,,,,,,,,,JOHN
