I know he's one of the most popular and highly rated, but he really was the best to ever do it. Name one other guitarist that has inspired more guitarists than him and changed the face of music more then he did, you can't just because he's the GOAT.

I can't argue any those are all solid choices I do just prefer Jimi's sound though
>>63386832
Cant argue there Steve Howe had great technique and Chuck Berry was an influence of Hendrix, but Jimi had his own way of making bluesy songs that are just timeless and were far ahead of their time to me.

I got to admit, Jimi is sick as fuck, but Stevie Ray Vaughn has the perfect old school blues guitar.
He's like a modern version of son house
