Johnny Winter was light years ahead of Duane Allman. Light years. The ABB were far more popular, and Duane's untimely demise also added to his allure, but JDW III had licks Duane, or Dickey Betts, or Clapton, could not touch. I own everything the ABB and Duane put out, so I've heard it all. Duane was very, very good, but he wasn't Winter. As for the modern stuff, I'd also put Dave Hole above Duane Allman on slide work; that dude is a bad man.
@Easleytee I respectfully disagree. Jimi may have been more influential but Duane's talent in my humble opinion out weighed Jimi's. But its an opinion. Not the gospel truth.
Sorry, just disagree NOBODY is light years ahead of Duane!

@nashtndawg WRONG! Seen them both, Love the Allmans and Duane, played with Dicky, not even close. Johnny hands down

And whoever put Allman above Hendrix has ate a few too many magic mushrooms. That's laughable at best.

Don't compare Jimi w/ Duane.
Duane was solid...but he wasn't playing in the same musical galaxy as James Marshall.

@precisionb really underrated blues guitarist - R.S, had him #43 or whatever - should be in the top five.
