Re: Happy Birthday Jimi Hendrix!
Hendrix is the best guitar player in the world. He influenced a lot of people who play music now. Kind of sucks that he died, because it would have been interesting to see what kind of music he would make.

Re: Happy Birthday Jimi Hendrix!
Probably the most unique guitar player ever because he was shredding in the right time. He was the prototype of a rock guitar player. Some people say he influenced Miles Davis who recorded Bitches Brew after discovering the madness of Jimi Hendrix.

Re: Happy Birthday Jimi Hendrix!
Hendrix was awesome. I'd say he was the most influential electric lead guitar player of all. Clapton was the first to crank the amp right up with the Bluesbreakers but Hendrix truly soared and opened the door for a lot of players.
The most unique guitar player award could probably go to Allan Holdsworth, Derek Bailey, Fred Frith or Hans Reichel, although their stuff isn't exactly middle of the road... lol (But I love it!)
As for being the best player - I don't think there is one. There are so many guys who were/are fantastic at doing their own different thing that they can't really be compared. It's a bit like saying which composer's the best - Bach, Beethoven or Stravinsky? All geniuses, and each in different ways...

Allan Holdsworth is far ahead Jimi (and not only him) but there was no other Jimi during him time. Derek Bailey was amazing. Too bad he passed away recently and got almost no recognition for the kind of avantgarde music he was playing. If you like Derek Bailey, youŽd love Sonny Sharrock, too. Fred Frith, however, is not my cup of tea.

Re: Happy Birthday Jimi Hendrix!
Yeah, I like Sharrock too, although I find his stuff can be a bit hit and miss…
My personal electric guitar faves are the fusion guys: Holdsworth, Krantz, McLaughlin, Frisell, Metheny, Morse, Henderson, Di Meola, Zappa, Rustici and Carlton. I like Gilmour too. I see where Clapton fits in the scheme of lead guitar evolution but I never could get excited about his playing. But there’s definitely something special about Hendrix...

"Do you remember V. P. Dick Cheney "
'YES, I DO. I use to call him 'TAINT'.
"Taint? Why did you call him that?"
'Because in every picture he was between Bush and Colin'
