I think he is overrated, he made playing guitar cool and had some good riffs, but he's not the guitar playing Jesus everyone makes him out to be. Most influential yes, but best no. |

Jimi Hendrix is a good guitarist but not the best

Only numpties can say that Jim was the best guitarist. Even in his years, i can name few hundrends better guitarists (and not only from Rock). The point about Hendrix isnt if he was the best guitarist or not.

Hendrix was an amazing guitarist. Way ahead of his time. Paved the way ahead for many new styles.

 ..obviously he wouldn't be considered the best in todays climate but he was extraordinary back in his era..because his abilities were unseen or unheard of..

I agree he was slightly over rated but he changed music and is probably the most influential guitarist of all time. Nobody comes close to him in that respect

nobody cant say he is the best guitarist of all time, there is loads of better ones. As mentioned before, he's the most respected and influental guitarist of all time

I'll keep it simple, just listen to him play The Star Spangled Banner. It makes my hair stand on end! Love His stuff, best player? daft question what makes anyone the best at anything? lol

lots of metal guitarists play faster than Jimi,but sometimes they have no feeling in their playing..Jimi seemed to play just what was needed.

There's 'best as in fastest or most knowledgeable, like van halen or gary moore, then there's 'best' as in maverick or inventive, but aren't necessarily recognised as being theoretically educated in guitar, joe santiago, john mcgeoch. The latter break creative boundaries, the former break physical boundaries. Anyway both push the guitar to it's limit and I rank hendrix somewhere between the two, imho

I think it's about putting your stamp on an instrument. Hendrix definitely did that, just like bb king or even hank marvin did, and yet someone like mick marrs won't get that kinda cred because he never really brought anything new to the table.
