Looking for inspo: great blues lead players that have an original style and are technically very good (not metal)
it is important that they play cleanly and effortlessly when soloing, and have a DISTINCT style that can be easily differentiated from the others. I am looking for inspiration from players that accomplish this; I would have included Jimmy Page but he is a sloppy player compared to these guys. Any other suggestions? I also did not include Joe Bonnamassa, he is undoubtedly very technically accomplished, more so than anybody on this list, but his playing isnt very original as he unabashedly parrots Clapton and Johnson albeit at breakneck speed.
SRV
Freddie King
Angus Young
Eric Johnson
Eric Clapton
Can anybody add more? Please adhere to the parameters indicated above.

Why are you looking for other blues (rock) players then? That style has hardly been original since the 70's.
