Best Guitarist.
but he played Hey Joe with his teeth not the Star-Spangled banner, and his best solo is obviously "Machine Gun"
before Jimi passed away, he had a whole album about to be released, it did come out. (in 1997) So you can say he has 5 albums;
Are You Experienced?
Axis: Bold as Love
Electric Ladyland
Band of Gypsys
First Rays of The New Rising Sun
Also, before his death he had a compilation called "Smash Hits" with the Experience.

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.

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."

Simply the greatest man to ever play at the 6 strings. A hero and an icon. Sadly he died of an OD and he is the reason why I will stay drug free so I won't die like him.

HOLY CRAP! The man who defined modern guitar and killed the devil. Rumors have it that he played left handed but this is myth, Jimi Hendrix played the guitar with his mind. He was granted telepathic guitar god powers by Robert Johnson, the previous nigra messiah, who gave the white man's pool aids. Jimi Hendrix was a dirty hippie and in a feat of pure willpower smoked enough pot to kill himself in the late 1700s. But rumor has it that he escaped death and went to live on an island with Beethoven, Elvis, Tupac, Santa, and that annoying Urkel kid from Family Matters. He releases albums annually but people still think he's dead because all of Jimi Hendrix's fans are too high to even stand up. Some people who listen to progressive metal or Slash like to say that he had no talent and that they like better music, but this is a misnomer since progressive metal and Slash are not music but actually white noise generated when two gay males sodomise goats in gimp outfits.
Sacred prayer to Jimi Hendrix, the ultimate nigra:
Oh Jimi,
Please grant me guitar power,
So that I may slap a bitch,
For disrespecting my name,
My family,
My country,
My dog,
My shoes,
My guitar.
Grant me to the power,
To fly,
And shoot lasers from my hands,
Like Captain Planet, only not gay.
Amen.
