I put Buddy Guy #1 because he influenced all the rest. BB King #2 for same reason. Then Bloomfield, pure genius. STV #4 even if he copied Albert King & Hendrix. After that in no particular order, Freddie King, Albert King, Duane Allman, Elmore James, Robert Johnson, and Peter Green. Clapton is OK, but... I also like Page and Winter.
My buddy in sweet Virginia puts Peter Green as #1 of al time. Stevie Ray and Johnny Winter are must includes in the top 10 blues guitarist of all time.
Really liked the video, and you have nice taste in guitarists. My 10 blues guitarsist would change : - Derek Trucks out Peter Green in Stevei Ray Vaughn out Otis Rush in Santana out T-bone Walker in Elmore James out Freddie King in. But if i was to make a final list, i would have to think about it way more carefully :)
In MY list i would not put him in it. It is a Hall Of Fame List. I doubt he has had such an impact on the guitar world as much as the guitarists i have mentioned. I am not doubting his ability.
There are about 20 other blues guitarists i would put ahead of Derek Trucks as they would deserve the title more. Of course you would have to know your blues to recognize that, it's not always about best guitarist.
He's completely revolutionized the slide guitar, he's done something entirely new, his sound is beyond unique. I'm well versed in all the old school blues men and they're great, but derek has taken from them and added so much more to what they did.
Sure they deserve alot of credit for doing it first, but what derek trucks does is nothing short of amazing. I appoligise for phrasing things so rudely, I tend to get passionate when great players like derek dont get credit where credit is due.
umm...Gary Moore??....hellooo?

Anyone who doesn't put Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix in the top 2 slots automatically is OUT OF THEIR MIND.
