Guitar Greats presents 14 of the greatest rock/blues players alive today, beginning with a musician whose unique style and musicianship has inspired many of his contemporary greats. B.B. King's career began in the late 40s and saw him scoring early success with his recording of 'Three o'clock blues' topping the American r'n'b chart in 1950.
He has long been the most widely appreciated of blues guitarists with a record for 'number of live performances' that would be almost impossible to better.
