I thought Eric Clapton is also considered one of the best "slow hands"?
Clapton is "slow-hand"...i guess in the blues category...while Pink Floyd's music is considered "acid rock"....
then there are the speed freaks in the Rock category like Joe Satriani (my hero), Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen, .
Those days we call these "Underground music" or "Heavy Metal".
Some guitar greats over the years: My choice:
Jimi Hendrix
Hank Marvin - Shadows (Cliff Richard)
Ritchie Blackmore - Deep Purple
Jimmy Page - Led Zeppelin
Steve Gaines/Allen Collins - Lynyrd Skynyrd
BB King - Blues
Steve Howe - Yes
Duane Allman - Allman Brothers band
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Blues
Tony Iommi - Black Sabbath
Eddie Van Halen - Van Halen
Carlos Santana - Santana
Mark Knopfler - Dire Straits
Buddy Guy - Blues
David Gilmour - Pink Floyd
Brian May - Queen
Roy Buchanan - Blues
Angus Young - ACDC
Slash - Guns & Roses
Joe Satriani
Steve Vai
