James Gurley, Big Brother and the Holding Company, wasn't maybe the best, but he and his Big Bro mates were certainly pioneers in psychedelic music. As you may know, Big Brotherhttp://www.harmonycentral.com/ was together before Janis and had a different sound after she joined - they had to support her, whereas before the were much more "free."

Re: Best psychedelic blues guitarist/solo

took a while to find one that was a 'blues'...but if not pschedelic, then just mind-blowing...Allan Holdsworth, live...if you have never seen him...you should, just to be made to feel totaly musically inadequate :smileywink:

maybe it's more rock than blues, but it plays like a Hendrix solo: Maggot Brain

Re: Best psychedelic blues guitarist/solo

Lots of great players in this thread.  But, how about some more modern guys?

 

 

Check out more of his stuff if you like Trower, Hendrix, Marino, etc.  EG is one of the best modern players.
