Jimi Hendrix, The Jimi Hendrix Experience
“just listen”
“He could play with his teeth. That was cool. He was also one of rock's most influential musicians. Plus, he could sing too.”
“easily the most influential guitarist of all time. he brought so much to the instument. be style, effects, or over all skill, he made the biggest contributions”
“Not a whole lot to say about him. He is god of the guitar. The best by far.”
“Jimi Hendrix is no. 1”
“he shredds”
“Jimi Hendrix taught him self guitar on a right handed guitar and he plays left handed, he played with his teeth and came up with his own style. Not too many people can do that. Too bad he died because he would of done loads more only if he had the chance.”
“Certainly not the most talented guitarist, but probably the most influential.”
“Jimi kicks ass”
“you cant beat Jimi”
“WTF, JIMY should be no.1 , not a guy named prince”
“I can not believe that Prince is at top, Hendrix is, without any doubt, better than him”
“he could do anything with the guitar. He was easily the greatest guitarist of all time, and also the most influential.”
“the greatest”
“Jimi paved the way for artists like prince. prince has incorporated most of jimi's style as his own. this is like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg.”
“HE should really be number one, not only can he play with hes teeth he feels the music and could make hes guitar talk...”
“No 2. Jimmy flipping in his grave.
Some of the voters on this site don`t know anything about music or guitar”
“He did more in his short years with us than any other guitar player. Listen to Electric Ladyland.”
“The father of modern guitar shredding”
“jimi hendrix is without doubt the best guitarist to have ever lived. screw prince!
listen to "all along the watchtower" and tell me prince can play better guitar
”
“list of hendrix's greatest songs:
all along the watchtower, purple haze,
burning of the midnight lamp, little wing,
voodoo chile, the star spangledd banner gypsy eyes, wild thing, there are way to many to count.”
“WTF PRINCE BETTER THEN JIMI YEAH WRIGHT IN HIS DREAMS!!! HE MIGHT BEABLE TO PLAY PIANO BETTER THEN JIMI BUT THAT DOSENT MEAN HE CAN PLAY GUITAR BETTER.”
“JIMI IS THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER EVER”
“i like the song burning of the midnight lamp,
everyone should hear it, it is a very powerful
tune and has some of jimi's best singing and
lyrics.
”
“Hendrix is the best guitarist ever because he invented the sound that all the other guitarist copy! Prince dosn't belong in here! If there never was a Hendrix, prince would be working at a Burger King!”
“The best ever with out a doubt. He did everything in about 5 years. Don't tell me that he should not be first cause your wrong. Jimi was the most talented and influental player of all time. I dont think anyone will ever surpass him”
“Ok everybody here should know that Jimi Hendrix is the Guitar God. You cant mimic the way he played.”

“This guy is nothing less than hero... the greatest guitarist, and one of the first black man to front a white band (Redding and Mitchell)”
“Hendrix is the best there will be he should be #1 and he is left handed”
“This guy is a hero to me, he is my idol, my god, my jesus, nothing can ever beat him”
“Jimi is amazing and the way he plays the guitar can make you go wild. He also has his own unique style that Lenny Kravitz has taken. I call him the teacher.”
“It don't get better than jimi.”
“Despite his short career, you can't argue whether he wasn't the best, only in his time as reigning as the best guitarist.”
“"Jimi Hendriz is the greatest guitarist of all time and there is no doubt about it!"”
“he is the best.....just shut up!”
“he's the best.... nothing esle to say”
“james marshall hendrix=my saviour...”
“Jimi could play between his legs, behind his back, with his teeth, he couldn't even read music, and his stings were placed upside down and backwards!!! Not only was he flashy but he made the guitar what it is today. Many of modern day guitarists try to copy his style but they never succeed (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, and Eddie Van Halen).”
“Hendrix understood the meaning of having feeling for your music, and he proved it by playing a guitar in a way different than anyone else. To prove that music greatness originates not from skill, but from your heart... long live Hendrix, playing an electric guitar reversed hands, and without changing the strings...”
“The solo on Machine gun is probably the best guitar solo of all time”
“Hendrix is by far the best ever. he changed the way rock blues is played forever and all these stupid shredding guitarists of today should not even be mentioned at all!”
“Why wouldn't you choose Jimi he is by far is better then any guitarist”

“he rocks man best ever

“its gotta be jimmy he can do things that no other guitarist can”
“Best guitarist, pioneer, lefty (which was a serious disadvantage at the time), Hendrix was pretty much one with his famous white stratocaster!”
“Nobody could touch the talent of Jimi Hendrix. Nobody...”
“Hendrix is the greatest guitar player of all time and he deserves to be first. With his amazing talent to play guitar, while singing (which is hard to do), Hendrix has changed the way of rock and roll for ever. Though he is in the heavens playing music for god, his music is still on earth, and he is still the best.”
“this guy rules all hes was the best that had ever lived and we thank god for giveing him hes talent
”

Jeff Beck”

”
“Jimi Hendrix is God at guitar plus hes left handed too <(-_-)>”
“Jimi is just amazing”
“deffinately my favourite i own 6 albums containing his works”
“JIMI IS GOD!!!”
“finaly they put jimi no.1”
“According to Rolling Stone ("100 Greatest Guitarists of Alltime"), Jimi Hendrix is #1. When Jimi first jammed in England, he wowed England's guitar gods--Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton.”
“Jimi Hendrix Is The Greatest Guitarist Of All Time, Hands Down, He Influenced Our Music Today So Much.”
“I can agree with this ranking. Jimi was simply, "Jimi". What puzzles me, though, is the absence of pioneers and legends that laid the foundation for the various styles we know today. In 50 years, Jimi will probably still be in the top 10, but 98% of the top 150 guitarist on this list will not be known. Don't confuse popularity with actual talent and innovation. Robert Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughn, T-Bone Walker, Chuck Berry, George Harrison and others that were creative in times when creativity was far more stifled and oppressed deserve more recognition than those that can play "fast".”
“" Jim is defienetley the best.'
”
“Jimi is SIMPLY amazing
”
“jimi hendrix was definetly one of the most influential guitarists, hell musician, ever. even throught the drugs, he was amazing.”
“The greatest, most talented, most influential, most innovative, most original guitarist ever. You name it, there a guitarists who have it and guitarists who don't have it, Jimi Hendrix had the whole entire package.”
“Are you experienced?”
“he was god!!!!-like!!!”
“HENDRIX IS GOD.. no one could surpass his talent.. I wish he's still alive.. he will be no. 1 forever”
“Simply the Best... say no more!”
“Hendrix is guitar god & he all ways will be”
“The greatest, most talented, most influential, most innovative, most original guitarist ever. You name it, there a guitarists who have it and guitarists who dont have it, Jimi Hendrix had the whole entire package.”
“jimi is god”
“The only time he ever hit a bad note, it added to the song, even when he went without sleep for three days and played a concert, it added to every song he played. Jimi Hendrix was not a musician or a songwriter, he was a guitar player, you cannot just listen to his recordings, nor just his live shows. To make a guitar sing - especially with 60's guitar technology - is something you don't hear in other songs.
Jimi Hendrix had a message to send, through guitar was his choice, you cannot even begin to compare unless you have the same mission.”
“Jimi hendrix is without a doubt the best guitarist ever whether it is skill creativity technical skills whatever you want to call it he was the best. He invented his own style and a new style of music, rock and free form guitar. Another way that hendrix out does everyone else is the time and the equipment his music was recorded on. Here is a list of his favorite songs of mine: purple haze, voodo chile (slight return), in from the storm, stone free, foxey lady, hey baby, spanish castle magic, lover man, I don't live today, crosstown traffic, machine gun, room full of mirrors, 3rd stone from the sun, fire, astro man, all along the watchtower, and ezy ryder”
“jimi hendrix is great! listen to star spangled banner”
“prince is rubbish hendrix is better!”
“Does the song right in every way, solos that are sweet and match the song to every extend, great talent. He was left handed and played a right handed guitar with the strap switched sides, and kept the strings inverted. Idolizes many including some of the worlds living best.”
“I don't like his music that much, but he IS the best”
“jimi was god way in head of his time and these people these days have better equipment this guy was legend”
“I love most guitarists such as page and gilmour but to vote whose the best, Jimi's a messiah sent from God to show us how to play guitar”
“jimi did things with the guitar no one has ever seen! he rocks!”
“No one has ever been able to play the guitar like he did.”
“had the most heart, most talent, and wrote the best variety of songs as well as played them like they were nothing”
“not necessiarly the most skilled, but rock music would not be what it is today without this man”
“Rock would not be Rock if it was not for Jimi. He finished off what Chuck Berry and Ike Turner Started.”
“There can't be anyone else”
“There is yet to be a guitar player who's playing explodes with as much passion.”
“very great guirtarist and he had a very hard life growing up so to still learn how to play and live he is a ledgend”
“Really now, Jimi is THE GUITARIST.”
“he reinvented the guitar. and it was never the same.”
“he's not just a guitar god: he's THE guitar god”
“he is the reason I started to like rock more he is insperational best song machine gun.”
“he is the absolute greatest guitarist
”
“Jimi Hendrix - The Father of Modern Guitar Shredding.”
“You haven't heard guitar until you've listened to jimi hendrix.”
“flipping genius.”
“Jimi Hendrix is Defiantly the best I have ever heard. If you seriously think Slash is the second best then you are sadly mistaken. The only reason most people vote for him is because he is on Guitar Hero III. Jimmy Page is a good choice, he rocked out in Led Zeppelin. But for fourth place there's Tariqh Akoni. He shouldn't even be in the top 100. Eddie Van Halen as fifth is a great choice for the list. Prince, who would actually vote for him as the sixth greatest guitar player ever? Horrible. Synyster Gates as the seventh? That's a dumb choice. Buckethead is probably the fastest guitarist out there but not a great option for the top ten. Probably the top 25. Kirk Hammett at eleventh is a great choice. But Angus Young at 12? I love AC/DC but he is probably late 90's.”
“Hendrix is amazing. #1 undoubtedly. Slash, is a monster. Page couldn't be better. Tariqh Akoni doesn't deserve his spot. He's good, but he can't even come close to Van Halen or S. Gates. Prince: pretty much the same. Neal Schon, Buckethead, Matthias Jabs, Kirk Hammet, and angus young all deserve to be top ten, but get Prince and Akoni outta here.”
“jimi is incredible. why the hell is avenged sevenfold on here. disrespectfull. there are three million better musicians out there. ( eric clapton should be third)”
“Are you kidding me! Slash as #2 is a horrible vote. I respect him, and he is in my top 20, but #2? Since neither Clapton or Santana are in the top ten, I know Slash doesn't deserve the #2... But Ive ranted enough. HENDRIX FOR LIFE!”
