I am reasonably sure, music will never repeat the quality of rock/blues guitarists that exploded on the scene in the 60's and flowed forth into the 70's!
People/bands like:
Hendrix
Clapton
Page
Beck
Hendrix
Tony TS McPhee
Rory Gallagher
Robin Trower
John Cipollina (QMS)
Gary Duncan (QMS)
Peter Green
Roy Buchanan
Kim Simmons (Savoy Brown)
Alvin Lee (Ten Years After)
Dave Peverett (Foghat & ex-Savoy Brown)
Paul Kossoff (Free)
Johnny Winter
I'm sure there are more, feel free to add on...
This is a real good list. I would miss several. Some others (some are not just blues artists but mix it in): Steve Stills (think Black Queen--swamp or Delta blues I guess you would call it), Jorma Kaukonen, Jerry, Mike Bloomfield, Harvey Mandel, Alan (Blind Owl) Wilson, Steve Miller (yeah a blues band before his pop transition), Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer (his Elmore James stuff was my intro to FM), Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Mick Taylor, John Fogerty, Jim Armstrong (had to look up the name) (from Them) (you know, Baby Please Don't Go, the "A" side until the DJs started playing that "B" side called Gloria), Robbie Krieger, Danny Kalb (Blue Project), Sam Andrew (BB & Holding Co.), Duane Allman, Dickie Betts, and even Neil Young _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"

I’d add three guys who played in blues inspired bands of the era and went on to some tasty solo blues work: Alvin Lee, Garry Moore, and Paul Rodgers _________________ “We must always take sides.

This certainly won't be something for everyone, but if a 46 minute (one song) Post/Psychedelic/Space/Kraut jam from a band from "who-knows-where", is a all intriguing, put it on and sit back and groove...
Back to British Guitarists of the late 60's / early 70's..
I'm pretty sure you've heard of Thin Lizzy and know them for Gary Moore and later the dual guitars of Brian and Scott, but their original guitarist was a guy a guy named ERIC BELL. And Eric absolutely sheds on the original version of The Rocker..
Don't believe me? Have a listen from 2:09 to 4:40 for a guitar solo that builds and builds into a insane frenzy that makes this one of my all-time favorite solos...
As I'm sure you've already figured out, I don't think like most people, this goes for most all faucets of my life, including my musical tastes.
For example, this is probably my favorite Pink Floyd song, a song that was so far ahead of its time, that nearly 57 years after it was made, it's still "futuristic"....

After Kranjecovi krugovi pakla, who'd guess.
But yes, one of their very best. I was one those who was buying all of their albums up through Dark Side of the Moon, at which point they became kinda popular, but stopped buying their albums as FM radio supplied us with more than enough play. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"
We also have to go so far back back in the way-back machine that it is in black and white, but I've been listening to this a lot lately.
While many seem to think the Byrds were the first American answer to the Beatles, the reality is that the first major group was out of SF, the Beau Brummels. Here is Laugh Laugh, lyrically, vocally, and musically a great blast from the past.
And as another Rib-bit, this was produced by none other than Sly Stone. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"

Hendrix' disciple, Ernie Isley, is still killing it at 72 years old. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns".
Great News, one of my favorite Jam Bands, (I just call them Z-Dim) has just released a brand new album. It's on Bandcamp for $7 (Eu), just bought it!
There are 4 songs: 14-minutes, 11-minutes, 9 minutes and 6 minutes, of hardcore jamming!
here's a blurb they wrote on the Bandcamp page:
The grand illusion that promised humanity encounters its counterpoint, much like an organism flushing out harmful substances through diarrhea. What was supposed to give us humanity and wisdom has instead put us in a velvet cage from which we cannot escape. What was supposed to give us freedom has instead transformed us into homunculi. Magical rituals have been replaced by consumerism, eros by aggression, and connection by alienation.
Where once there was a sacred fireplace, now lies the ash of an artificial Sun. Where there was knowledge, now there is a void.
May the memory of what we lost—Life—rise from the suffocating smoke of the machine.

I listened to the latest David Gilmore album and this video found me. For fans of David Gilmore, this is quite a treat, with his daughter doing the vocals and another of his unmistakable guitar style and tone, solos as the creme de la creme.

Squabble Up - Kendrick. The video is nice- especially if you are from LA. _________________ Iman Shumpert, believes LBJ's decision to constantly team up with other All-Stars eschewed the idea of superstars continually adding layers to their repertoire.
First up is Frank Bornnman (a very rad solo starts just before the 2 minute mark):
Next up is the original Thin Lizzy guitarist, Eric Bell (his solo starts at about 2:00):
Lastly there is Andy Powell of Wishbone Ash, who had twin leads, with Andy as the primary guy: (not so much of a solo, but more of just his pickin' expertise):
