Guitar Hall of Fame!



Guitarist Hall of Fame

In third place!!!!!! 

Mr. B.B King

NO NOT BURGAR KING, B.B King. 
Riley B. King who (AKA B.B. King) was born  September 16, 1925. He is an American songwriter, vocalist, and famed blues guitarist.
According to Rolling Stone magazine, he was ranked as, number 3 of the entire world on its list of the of the top 100 guitarist of all time. He was rated as rank 17 in in Gibson's Top 50 Guitarists of All Time. With him, he introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that would influence virtually every electric blues guitarist that followed. B.B King was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. 

Personally I think his unique style playing the guitar while sitting brings out the appearance like he is the "boss'' ---> LIKE A BOSS (y)

Here is his outstanding music  ''Blue Boys Tune''



And  our second place guitarist is Duane Allman
