Best rock guitarist in history. Everyone who says otherwise is missing the point: today's "shredding" guys are just expanding on his work. He was playing in the pleistocene era, technology -wise, but he FUNDEMENTALLY CHANGED the way guitar was played. Even the greats at the time, like Clapton, Townshend and Page were influenced by his style and work. Van Halen, Vai, Satriani and the rest of the current crop of virtuosos are fantastic players, but their contribution to rock guitar is rather incremental in comparison with Hendrix's contribution. In summary, if you think Hendrix isn't the best, you are a retard, and the guitarists you say are better point to him as their God.
Listen to the second version of Driving South on the BBC tapes, any live version of Voodoo Child (Slight Return), the entire Blues album or much of his Wooodstock performance.
Then listen to what everyone else was playing around that time and STFU.

Tard: Jimi Hendrix is overrated! He's totally blown away by Satriani
Me: Satriani became a guitarist specifically because of Hendrix. He sees Hendrix as God.
Tard: But he's totally shredding!
Me: Goodie for him, he can play a scale fast.

Get the jimi hendrix mug.An old term for not saying Jesus Christ, thus not using Christ's(God's) name in vain and not breaking one of the 10 Commandments or blaspheming. Usually used with emphasis.
Now people say: Jesus!, Jesus Christ!, geez!, or geez Louise! instead.
The term is older than the character from Disney films: a talking, singing, and fancy-looking cricket.

Get the Jimi Hendrix mug.Greatest guitarist of all time. Hendrix got his first guitar when he was 11, and hhad to play it upside down since there were no left handed guitars. Grew up to be one of, if no the best musican of the 60's, and still kicks ass today. If you think Jimi Hendrix sucks, you ought to be shot.
guy1:"Man, jimi hendrix sucks. Slash is t3h 1337 4w350mn355!1!!!111"
guy2"You ought to be shot, dumbass fucktard."
