>The greatest guitarist in history is still a black guy
Its literally been 46 years , how havent we topped him yet?
>implying
Who is your favorite member of the 27 club?
>>65211067
Plenty of people have surpassed him in skill. He still gets respect for being innovative though. But once you make an innovation it's not like anyone else can make it after you.
>>65211067
Hendrix was both innovative and easy to listen to. That's great, but music didn't stop after him unlike some people think. There are plenty guitarists who pushed music forward. It's simply that everyone got sick of guitar geniuses really quick

also, Fripp was involved with top artists in terms of innovation such as Eno, Bowie, Van Der Graaf Generator, Talking Heads, etc
he was the guitarist behind "Heroes"

Hendrix was just at the right place at the right time. He's only seen as innovative as he is because he was the first to use the technology that has become the standard for electric guitar music (overdriven amps, fuzz pedals, wah, modulation effects etc..)
you cant deny the doors aint the best guitarist

Tuck Andress is the only guitarist I've ever been genuinely jealous of.

Yeah I never got the Buckethead hype. Is it because he releases like 30 albums a year and people like the gimmick so much they namedrop him every time someone discusses guitarists?
Just listen to Malmsteen or Vai or a similar wanker

i think the most impressive thing in that video is his control of dynamics
his tone is great, very slippery
>>65213609
False. The greatest guitarist is Bill frisell
>>65213802
Not to mention I'm pretty sure he hit about half a million harmonics like they were nothing. Fingerpicked harmonics, at that.
I shit my pants if I can get a harmonic twice in a row.
>>65213863
i can do those types of harmonics, it's not too difficult, i can't do it anywhere near the speed he does it though
it's amusing to me how tuck is st vincent's uncle

There's something special to his style of playing though, there is no guitarist who plays like him, go ahead name one. It's not technically challenging, but it's incredibly creative. His songs aren't hard to play, but if you learn them they will never sound close to as good as when Jimi did, all his songs had these tiny nuances that made them so special.
I'm workin on it, give me a couple years.

i hated the name tuck and patti, and i had outgrown windham hill, so im glad ive discovered him now. i thought he was "tuck everlasting" the kids book, maybe!

the music played him. im not sure he even existed in this world when he played. his body was just undulating.

it really did man, as pretentious as it sounds. That man had a fucking gift like no other, his songwriting was so fucking special, it's hard to explain. Like when I listen to Little Wing its sounds so good but I cant understand how he wrote it, like how did he go from one lick to another

Guitar music is dead, no guitarist can have as much influence as Hendrix unless it comes back, which it won't. Sorry dude
>>65214473
>it's not technically challenging
nah it is IMO. it's hardly music that can only be performed by super god-tier shredders who can play at like 1,200 BPM but to say that playing hendrix's shit is no big deal is kind of dishonest I think.
Yngwie Malmsteen
>>65215055
yeah i guess you're right, i phrased it weird, i was trying to say what you said there. You'll easily find stuff that is 100x more challenging than Hendrix's songs, but there's just something special about them, no other guitarist can play a song like Hendrix did
Are their any rappers who have mentioned Hendrix in their songs?
They are always talking about Jordan, MLK, Tupac etc. but I've never heard them mention Jimi
>>65211443
Hendrix really liked Fripp too

Hi, I'm Paco.
That's funny, because I could have swore that Mr. Hendrix said Terry Kath was the greatest guitarist so how can Hendrix also be the greatest?

love me some dean ween but best guitarist ever? when he only knows two solos? he doesn't know how to play most chords? he's good and one of my favorite guitarists but he is nowhere near the top. i think if you asked him he'd agree he's not that good
he's an interesting and talented guitar player for sure.

Mustaine has never been a great guitarist. He hasn't made a great album ever, and isn't even a lead.
>>65211999
Good list, with the exception of Petrucci, Vai and Van Halen. I mean, imo Jimi is probably the greatest guitarist so far, but these four give him a run for his money and John Mclaughlin is pretty close to him.
Imagine how far deep into GOAT territory Jimi could be had he not died before he could record shit with Miles Davis.

hendrix is homophonic though. A melody over a chord progression. Sometimes not even a melody, just a chord progression.
This is polyphonic guitar playing:

>Hendrix was just at the right place at the right time
You can say this about any acclaimed musician ever
>>65222241
Sorry, Hendrix is polyphonic (no less than he is monophonic, at least). He plays multiple melodies simultaneously, with several "melodies" (on top of a primary, "tonal" melody) consisting of calculated dissonances produced by his playing of the electric guitar.
>>65213119
