Who do you think was the best 12-string guitar blues player ever?

Answer 1

Either Barbecue Bob or Blind Willie McTell.



Paul Geremia and Fred Gerlach are the two best players of the Folk/Blues revival.

I saw Kim Simmonds do a solo acoustic set w/12 string and he certainly was no slouch.

Arlo Guthrie

John McLaughlin of Mahavishnu Orchestra

Neil Young

Answer 4

Either Blind Willie McTell or Lead Belly.

Answer 5

As this is in the Blues section it has to be Leadbelly!

Answer 6

I cannot for the life of me imagine anyone who can play the twelve string better than Leo Kotke.

Answer 7

Paul Geremia. Caught him live once, now i am a convert.

Answer 8

since he played blues rock & early heavy metal as well, I would say John McLaughlin of Mahavishnu Orchestra
