Peter Green
Peter Green was a co-founder of Fleetwood Mac and was born in London, England. 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. In reality, the guitarist in John Mayall’s band who Peter Green replaced was none other than Eric Clapton, who, as you might expect, could be found further down this list.
Robin Trower
Trower grew up in the Essex town of Southend-on-Sea. He was known as one of the best guitar players of his time due to his Jimi Hendrix-like abilities and alleged ability to bend notes better than any other musician alive. However, when he was a member of the famous group Procol Harum in the 1960s, his guitar playing became even more prominent. 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 bassist for Cream.
