I picked up a guitar 2 years ago to learn to play "More than Words" by Extreme. Since playing I have been drawn inexplicably to Jimi Hendrix and his style. As a NOVICE my opinion might not count based on experience, but I have not heard, or connected with another guitarist that has that same "SOUND". He is simply incredible!!

Whoa..Vaughan...c'mon. Jimi played guitar with more energy and style than anybody. Maybe he's not the best but he is definitely the most unique one. The others are far more conservative and templated. I envy the people who saw him playing....envy, envy, envy.....

what the heck!? im for both sides here. jimi hendrix is the person who influenced me start guitar anyway. his music is amazing, his guitar playing phenomenal.the guy we're talking about here is one of the legendary rockstars of all history and we have to fight about this? and im not saying he is the best because there is no such thing as the best guitar player in the world because there are so many people who are legendary in guitar because slash is also good and people ssy he is not the best. it is all in personal opinion and there will be arguments on who played the best or who had the best solos, but it all comes down to personal opinion

SRV is in no way shape or form better than Jimi. all he does is do what Jimi did, minus the creativity/originality. he simply doesn't devolop on the techniques.
like people get too caught up in how fast this, how fast that, and don't realize its all about TONES AND CREATIVITY. simply SOUND. Jimi SOUNDS the best.
and if thats not good enough, lets see his skill leve:
only guitarist to play rhythm/lead at the same time, while fretting bass notes, WHILE singing.
only guitarist to make feedback sound good and melodic
invented funk
chordal solos
longest improvs
you are simply wrong, SRV can't touch Jimi and he said it

To ask this question is to incite debate among the informed and uninformed alike. Most people will argue for their favorite, whomever that may be. However, if you were to ask contemporary guitarists like Satriani, Vai, Gilbert, Petrucci, Morse and the like, they have all said Jimi is the best. Most influential, innovative, creative ever to plug in. Period.

I seen Jimi in Haight Ashbury before anyone knew who he was. Cant remember what year that was? I do remember it was a very windy day, and he was having trouble keeping his guitar in tune. In my opinion Jimi was a bues man, blues were his "roots". Very interesting lens! Really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing all this!

This guy taught himself, thus creating his own, and still original style. Mad props to the man.

The one thing that makes Hendrix stand out as "The Greatest Guitar Player Of All Time" is not only what he did but WHEN he did it.
Having lived at the time when Jimi emerged on to the music scene I can tell you, before Mr. Hendrix, everyone sounded the same.
It was as if he invented a whole new instrument. Eric Claptons first words after hearing Jimi for the first time was, "Well, I'll never play guitar again." luckily he didn't keep that promise but you get the picture.
Another amazing thing was Jimi's insecurity as a guitarist. When he wasn't playing, he wasn't sure if people would like his style and when he was playing...well, he was somewhere other than here.

He's the best rock guitarist ever. The greatest guitarist ever was Stevie Ray Vaughan. Stevie was more versatile and cleaner than Hendrix. Hendrix had a muddy style. Vaughan had a flawless style.

johnstodder says:
He was definitely the flashiest and the most fun. He was great. But his career was cut short, so we didn't get to see him evolve artistically much past blues and psychedelia, and there are so many more dimensions to the guitar.

Although I wouldn't say THE ablsolute best, he does have some dang groovy songs out there, and then some. He's gone down in history with quite a record! If only he had lived longer...

Although he is definetly up there with the best he was not the best in my opinion. Stevie Ray Vaughn absolutely whoops his butt.

- Almost got to see him at the Fillmore East New Years Eve ushering in 1970 as a Band of Gypsies with Buddy Miles and Billy Cox which was, as you probably know, recorded live originally as "A Band of Gypsies" (LP). Wish I had been there (sigh......)
