Do you think that Jimmy Hendrix is actually the best guitar player ever?
Or do you think that are better guitar players?

Written by Lord TJ on 27.02.2007 at 17:09 What a great comment.The best post here.I absolutely agree with you.David Gilmour is the one with most touchy solos for me.Steve Vai,Malmsteen,Satriani,Petrucci are the ones with excelent technique.Jimi Hendrix;he is a legend and may be the first most known guitarist with zappa.WE can't never decide on someone cuz we all have different tastes.We all just have to feel big respects to all these brilliant guys.

He was good and amazingly creative, but in my own opinion, he wouldn't be considered to be the best guitarist ever. But he does rank high

Being the best guitar player ever cannot be answered with whois the fastest shredder or who knows more notes, it the creativity and thats why Hendrix is on top of the list for me. Amazing musician.

What do all of you consider as being the best? There are different things and levels people are good at on guitar. Micheal Angelo is said to be the fastest guitarist on the planet, but it doesnt necessarilly mean hes the best guitarist.

not a t all, being the first is not being the best (of course he's not the first guitarist but the first to experiment with amps), Jimmy Hendrix played an importan role in the development of rock music, he's a pionneer and at his time he was the best, however, many heavy metal guitarists can overshadow with ease the skills of Hendrix, for example, Alexi Laho, Kiko Loureiro, Timo Tolkki, even non-metal such as Isaac Albeniz and other classic guitar players. However TJ Ð is right. And also there were different times, sometimes being a pionneer is harder than perfectionate a trend, furthermore is like we were comparing actual computers with abaccus, or pong with a PS3 game.

Given with what he had Jimi was the best, for his time. I remember going into this discussion with my dad, and he told me back when he was growing up (hes maybe 4 or 5 years younger than Jimi would be) guitar players werent as dime-a-dozen as they are now, so finding an actual guitar teacher was rare, where as now you can find 12 year olds playing Hendrix type stuff because they have access to top notch lessons. Think of it that way.

i think Hendrix was a pioneer in the way a guitar should sound. but he just doesnt strike me as a guitarist with absurd talent. its probably just me but his coveted "national anthem" rendition, to me, is just a distorted mess of feedback. its auditorily unenjoyable. disagree if you want.

Written by Stalker on 26.06.2007 at 18:20 it could have been his intention, but then again guitarists over emphasize things during live performances all the time. i cant think of any specific examples but its been done before, im sure.

well his guitar riffs are not that difficult by todays standards, but he did things that no one else did at that time, he had some really cool moves and the feeling he put into his playing was awesome, its not all about skill, he has influenced and will continue to influence hundreds of guitarists around the world

No, he was just ahead of his time, like most great artists. There are guitarists that are far more tecnically talented, but they lack hendrix's vision and ingenuity.

Jimmy Hendrix was the first man who discovered all the secrets that lie inside of an electric guitar. I wouldn't really say he is the best guitar player in the world, but definitely, he's somewhere near the top.

Fuck no. The question was "the best... ever?" No, not at all. Have you heard some of the guitarists today? Christ no, by far is he NOT the best. He may have been groundbreaking for his time, but that was not the question.
