The english magazine Record Collector have made a similar list in their may and june issue this year:
"The Twang's the Thang - 70 Years of Electric Guitar" the headline says, and the article continues: "...Guitarists take many forms: the tecnically brilliant virtuoso, the three cord garage thrasher; but they all trace their electric lineage back to 70 years ago this month, when the first piece of electric guitar music was recorded."(George Barnes and Big Bill Broonzy
Sweetheart Land, Vocalion 1938). "We have attempted to trace a history of the electric guitar, choosing one recording for every year. We have chosen those who did something new, and inspired others to follow...."
In this two part article Eric Clapton with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers are headlining for the year 1966, but there is no mention of Peter Green (the Guitarists Guitarist) here or the following years - and he - like few others - "inspired others to follow"!
