Yes, in my (and many others') opinion, Eddie Van Halen is the best guitarist in the world. People have marveled at his skill for years, and it definitely is unmatched, even by my favorite guitarist from my favorite band, Alex Lifeson of Rush.
Hope this helped!

∙ 12y agoEddie van Halen is much much much better than jimi hendrix. van halen has a way better sound, he has more guitar techniques, hes much faster, and hes contributed more.
The statement above is not true at all. They both have their own skills that their good at. Van Halen is mostly known for his fast paced speed solos. And most importantly playing FAST doesn't mean your good. Hendrix was special because he was a great improviser and entertainer. Saying that EVH "contributed more" is definitely not true. Hendrix came from an earlier period. Most people don't realize how much Hendrix has changed music by incorporating his own style and unique way of playing. In fact, I can back up that statement by saying he was the first one to create the Wah sound and helped popularize the Fuzz & Octavio pedal known to Guitarists all over the world. He was also the main contribute to the success of Marshall Amps. He was one of the first to test it out and then help popularize it. I respect both guitarists because each of them are good at their own genre. - Havok
