    first of all I want to say that I really enjoyed of this video, any die-hard blues fan knows that it is very difficult to narrow down great artists like them to 30 places.
    That being said, i will mention very influential artists like Charley patton, big joe Williams, Robert Nighthawk, Lightnin' Slim, hop wilson, Steve Cropper And of course many others have already mentioned before me here in the comments.

    I don't like "greatest" lists. Everyone mentioned here is great in their own way, and you definitely left off some that I would have included. Having said that, when I heard "Roaree's'" name, I knew that whoever compiled this list was a serious aficionado of blues guitarists. That means it was extremely difficult to cut the list down from, say 100, to just thirty. You did a commendable job. Thanks for this video.
