1. Elmore James

2. Lowell George

Jeremy Spencer (1948-): From 1967 to 1970, Jeremy Spencer slashed away with his slide guitar as fiercely as anyone. Spencer joined Mick Fleetwood and Peter Green in a blues band that would eventually become known as Fleetwood Mac. For its day, his slide raced with fearless abandon, borrowing heavily from Elmore James, but with a recklessness that was pure 1960s. Spencer left Fleetwood Mac in 1970; a 2006 comeback CD, “Precious Little,” shows that his slide playing has lost its bite and is now gentle.

4. Blind Willie Johnson

5. Deren Trucks
