Maybe someday in the future but for now no. He was the greatest guitarist that ever lived so far.
Jimi Hendrix
Jimmy Hendrix
By far the best guitarist in history is Jimi Hendrix, no one ever has or ever will match him
Yes My Idol Jerry Garcia is the greatest man and guitarist ever created
In my opinion I think it was Jimmy Hendrix. He is a total legend. Slash is a legend too.
No, he wasn't.
jimi hendrix
Quite a legacy. He was one of the greatest guitarist ever.
Shawn Lane was an American musician. He was an amazing guitarist, and was named by the American Guitar Institute as the "greatest guitarist who ever lived."
Stevie Ray Vaughn bwahaha! Name one song he ever wrote! No, it's Jimi Hendrix, of course! Even Stevie Vai is better than Vaughn. SRV is marginally better than Eddie Van Halen, that's all.
No. He was one of the most influential guitarists ever. Many guitarist have far surpassed his ability, but they would not have played the same, if it wasn't for his innovation. I disagree, perhaps modern players can play better technically but this only because of hours and hours of music theory and scales practice, Hendrix played with more feeling than anyone else, even Eric clapton says that Hendrix could do things he could never dream of. I would choose a one note solo with feeling by Neil Young over a robotic 1000 note solo by Steve vai. As for the best guitarist ever, i would have to say rory gallagher, Hendrix said himself that gallagher was the best in the world, yet gallagher never features on the lists of greatest guitarists. (check out "bad penny", gallagher at his best) Are you insane many guitarists have far surpassed his ability, as if they have knowone can compete with Jimi's ability not even Clapton , Jimmy Page or Rory Gallagher ect ect.. Hendrix turned the guitar into a true instrument he played it behind his back and played it with his teeth he could do anything, Jimi is the god of the guitar end of, oh and the answer is yes he is the greatest guitarist ever anyone with half a brain cell knows that. Who is this guy at the top, of course Jimi Hendrix is the best, any fool knows that. He must have been born in 1990. And Arctic Monkeys is not the best group, and Soundgarden didn't start rock 'n roll, and America was not started by Denzel Washington.
CLAPTON WOULD TELL YOU HENDRIX That answer is as correct as you will see; good insight. Hendrix probably dug Clapton too. Clapton was in awe over the smooth playing legend, and planned on presenting him with a Stratocaster I think in England. Unfortunately, he never got the chance; that was when Hendrix died. Also, it depends on what you like. If you like someone who plays more eccentrically, watch Hendrix. He had no quams against smashing his guitar or setting it ablaze on stage. Clapton AND Hendrix. Two of the most powerfull and prolific guitarist' ever to take command of a stage. One of Jimi's most memorable solos in ' All along the Watchtower' is a guitar players dream to Clapton's subtle interlude in 'While my guitar gently weeps' will forever be engraved in the minds of guitarist's everywhere for years to come.
