Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top was jimi's favorite guitarist. as far as bassist go dusty was one of his favs also Terry Kath. Phil Keggy was Jimi Hendrix's #1 favorite guitar player. I'm not certain about the above, I've never read anything about that. Possible I suppose.. But I have read about Keggy. Actually it was Herbert sumlin and I'm quoting Jimi I saw an interview with him on BBC and he said his favorite twin guitarists in one band were Micky Jones and Deke Leonard of Man. I cannot argue with that. BTW he also thought that the drummer, Terry Williams was great. You know him from Dire Straits..he's the drummer on Money For Nothing
The duration of Top of the Pops is 3600.0 seconds.
