Hendrix was great and a pioneer but there have been better guitarists since IMO.

Maybe if he had lived.....

Agree with this. Hendrix was THE pioneer. He invented the electric guitar sound we all love and know today.The impact of hearing him back then must have been immense.....and he deserves all the credit and plaudits he gets for that.

That he is still 'up there' in discussions like this so many years after his premature death shows his lasting legacy.

However, many since have taken his ideas and took them even further, so technically at least they are better Hendrix now.

Eddie Van Halen being just one that took it to a new level back in mid 70's.....then players like Vai, Gilbert and Satriani and all the others of their ilk too....but they owe it all really to Jimi in the beginning.

Jimi Hendrix - Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Joe Satriani.

Lee Malia - Bring Me the Horizon.

Johnny Marr - The Smiths.

Jimmy Page - Led Zeppelin.

 

[Thaksins Love Child]

Such a general question - greatest in what sense?

In terms of "shredding" and overall technique then Vai or Malmsteen for me.

 

[Bill Walker]

for me its about who moves you and IMO nobody tops this guy;

Some legends of the guitar on here, but Roger Whittaker pisses all over them.

Can't agree, Roger brilliant on the comb & paper, but Bert is the main man where axes are concerned.

for me there is only one guy RORY GALLAGHER Jesus, what he could do with the guitar and his live show would blow your mind....RIP Rory.

If you have never heard him then go buy Irish Tour or look on Youtube.

 

[BimboBob]

So...Joe Bonnamassa.


Or if we are talking bass guitar then it's Mark King.
