There hasn't been a guitarist that has come close to doing what he has done on a guitar. Fact
Fred Frith. He took the instrument further than Hendrix, though Jimi no doubt laid down some solid foundation
excuse me

Shawn Lane
The only one that came close.
RIP

shoot yourself
Mizutani => Hendrix desu imo

epic post dude

What do you even mean?
Hendrix was not nearly as large of a landmark as you'd like to credit him.
Besides, what he created was harmonically, melodically, and rhythmically simple.
Not all that important in the grand scope of music or even the guitar which had 250 years of rich history before him.

Can't shimmy the Jimi
Yea he made that guitar sing. Apparently he was something else live. For what he did, that kind of 60s melodic blues/rock guitar playing, I'd have to agree. There's blues guitarist I enjoy more, but that's just cause my tastes don't allow me to fully love hendrix's syle like I do with the playing of Luke Hoskin/ Tim Miller, David Gilmore, Tom Morello, and BB King.
>>60399598
whoops. meant to say that I enjoy certain blues guitarists more, and that my favorite guitar players overall are those 4. Obviously tom morello and Luke Hoskin/ Tim Miller are NOT blues guitarists lmao

lol

Hendrix can't be credited with inventing a genre of music. This man, Terry Kath, can be credited with developing noise rock.
>Hendrix is also quoted as saying that Kath was a better guitarist than him
>>60398844
His legacy as a guitarist is comparable to Beethoven's legacy as a symphonist.

Like LRD Mizutani? I love LRD but Hendrix will never be topped, his style of being not too flashy and letting other band members shine too while he still made amazing music will most likely never be topped
no one can top this mans autismo.
NO ONE.
Thurston and Lee perhaps?
What they did was pretty innovative - maybe not as universal as Hendrix, but they certainly pushed the boundaries
Adrian Belew
Lee Ranaldo/Thurston Moore
Kevin Shields
Man this is an embarrassing thread to read.
>>60399363
This. Mizutani is great, I can't stand Hendrix anymore.

Lenny Kravitz
He's influenced more teenage girls to have sex with him than Jimi ever did.

Lou Reed created noise rock with "I Heard Her Call My Name".

Apparently using a shitton of feedback/effects pedals makes you a great guitarist according to /mu/.
>>60398844
I understand that you're obviously a huge Hendrix fan, as we all are, but your statement is ridiculous. To act as if there hasn't been progression in guitar in the 50+ years since his death, then you need to rethink the way you look at music.
Thank you, fuck you.
If we count acoustic guitar, John Fahey is the best.
>>60400755
Fuck off retard
>>60400801
He's kind of right.
If you asked Kevin Shields who was the better guitarist between himself and Hendrix, do you honestly think he would say himself?
>>60400801
Edgy.
The truth is, if you strip off the feedback and pedal effects, they're just slightly above average guitarists at best. Listen to Les Rallizes Dénudés' "Mizutani" album or anything My Bloody Valentine did before You Made Me Realise to know what I mean.
>>60401010
Why are you attempting to argue a point you clearly know nothing about?
wes borland
niggas haven't even listened to Psyopus in this thread.

Chris Arp is GOD.
That guy from AAL >
>>60401164
Tosin Abasi hasnt really helped the progress of guitar playing though. Not to say he isnt incredibly talented because he is and he surrounds himself with equally talented musicians but he's not exactly reinventing the guitar.
>>60401115
wow.
that is some boooooooring shit.
like 'select all the patios' boring
>>60401115
this is gay af
>>60398844
no one except for your little club gives a shit, guitars aren't really important anymore senpai

>>60401563
He reinvented the 8 string
Little Wing is the best song Jimi Hendrix ever did
the rest are nowhere close
>>60398844
For rock maybe. Most Jazz guitarists are 10x better than Jimi.

>He reinvented the 8 string
how so?

>bold as love

>castles made of sand

Yes I agree its a crown jewel but he has many great tunes on par with it. Recording tech of the day really fucked with his compositions. Electric Ladyland would be insane with modern tech
Sloppily play blues?
