Calling all guitarists! If you 'woke up this morning' and you've 'still got the blues', boy, do we want to hear from you, because Total Guitar needs your help to decide who is the greatest blues guitarist of all time. 

Take a look at our poll below where we've listed 100 guitarists for you – from early Delta pioneers like Robert Johnson and Charley Patton, via Chicago greats Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy, to modern day shred-blues virtuosos Joe Bonamassa and Dan Patlansky. We've even thrown in a few classic blues-rockers for good measure too!
