"You're so lucky I was here to roll you onto your side; you would've Jimi Hendrixed all over yourself."

Jimi Hendrix was good for his times and also was inspired by the music of Eric Clapton. Great Song writer and created some memoriable riffs but a very messy techinical player. Deffintley not the greatest role model either. Guitarist for the masses but not for the eilite guitarist.
Satch, Vai, Johnson, Malmsteen, Johnson, and Lifemore are the best guitarists in the world. Unlike Jimi they also understand music theory, and how to read and write music

An excellent guitarist. Known to break the boundaries of guitar playing - in such ways as plucking the strings with his teeth (He recorded the American national anthem this way) and setting his guitar neck on fire while playing in concert. Don't ask.
He is also the author of one of the strangest and greatest quotes of all time:
"Excuse me, while I kiss the sky."

The best rock guitarist in the history of mankind. When Jimi played, the guitar seemed to be part of his body just like another limb. He was a master at mixing lead and rhythm guitar together. Unlike most guitarists, he didn't need anyone backing him up, even when he played a solo!

A self-taught guitarist who developed into a virtuoso and became the most accomplished and influential musician in the history of rock music. Hendrix spent years traveling on the chitlin circuit, learning the blues and honing his craft. He landed in New York's Harlem and Greenwich Village, trying to make a name for himself and nearly starving to death. He caught a break by going to England and showing them what an authentic bluesman really is. From October 1966 to September 1970 Hendrix took music to heights in had never been. Drugs, women, and the music business killed him at age 27.
