As has been seen there’s always someone else that comes along supposed to be the best. These days anyone can learn guitar, play fast etc etc, hell there’s a country full of them in Korea. But those guys of old were groundbreaking and excellent musicians. Back then we had never seen the like. Appreciate them all for what they were, pioneers.

It's the obsession of our time -- Who is #1? It's the same with NFL quarterbacks -- based on what? Games won? Passes completed? Clutch games? Yards gained? Same with guitarists -- speed? emotion? inventive, structured or melodic solos? My favorites include Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Eric Clapton. Steve Howe, Steve Hackett, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Duane Allman -- they're each great for different reasons. Also, too many people rate a guitarist based on how much they like the music, and nothing more -- just say "he's my favorite" and leave it at that.

Hendrix, Clapton and many others of their generation were doing their thing in an era where rock music was still young and the electric guitar was a relatively new instrument. They were pioneers at a time when there was still room for innovation. So of course, they’re always going to be in the conversation of “GREATEST”. It’s clear to see that the best days of music are behind us when acts like Taylor Swift are dominating the music scene.

There is an organic quality to the early rock that is lost now - it left when prog grew up. Hendrix tuned his own guitar - today, his guitar tech would do it. Players actually wrote their own songs - without a committee. They created their tone with the instrument - not a thousand effects pedals and a guitar synth. The drummers were angry animals - powerful gods of thunder, not percussionists. There's no Berkley there, no DW drum kits, no click tracks, no noise gates, no 7 string basses (watch John Entwistle - God Damn!) Hell, half the time they didn't even have a sound engineer. Yes, they did much more with far less and it was a lot more fun.

Clapton was a great player but his vocabulary was mostly just emulating Freddie King, Albert King etc. licks and playing them in a louder, faster more rawkus way. I believe his reputation was more because of the time period and him innovating the sound that became synonymous with electric guitar and rock/blues music forever, he is regarded as the first to plug a Les Paul into a Marshall and crank it to get natural distortion, before him blues and rock music was mostly dominated by clean sounding guitars that lacked power or grit. Clapton came along and blew everyone's socks of with his powerful distorted sound, Jimi greatly admired him and not long after arriving in England he also acquired some Marshall amplifiers, most likely because of Claptons influence. Jimi's playing was far more unique than Eric's, he didn't restrict himself to the blues and played whatever he felt like playing and that is why many regard him as the best

I was a student at the Regent Street Polytechnic and I went to the Cream gig in the modest size room in the college building. I remember it was a bit pricy at 50p and not long after it started this black guy came out on the small stage and started playing and the word went around "who is that guy" clearly he was a fantastic player and yes Eric Clapton did leave the stage to him. It was a great time to be a student in London and we knew it was special. The architects in the year above us at the Poly were very inventive with sound and visual slide displays. They were Pink Floyd. Many of the greats at that time played at our college as it was one of the few places on a round of venues. There was no playing to vast crowds and you could get up close to the groups. I missed the Stones who performed the year before I went there. The high sound levels though could be a problem in such small places. I also saw Hendrix play one of his last gigs at the Albert Hall when he was by then really polished and a real showy performer.

Guitar playing can be define as, "Before Hendrix and After Hendrix" ..........Hendrix is the greatest "guitarist" ever and no one will ever surpass him. He was in the right place, at the right time, in the golden era of analog, realizing and popularizing the most powerful music theory, using the best instruments, with the best engineers, in an environment suited for guitar playing, all wrapped up in unmatched technical honesty, imagination and """"taste"""". Hendrix is the top of the mountain. ALMOST 70 YEARS LATER AND HIS MUSIC IS JUST AS INFLUENTIAL AND RELEVANT AS THE DAY IT WAS RELEASED! Like Bach, Mozart and Miles Davis, .....Hendrix's music will live forever. Be happy you are lucky enough to experience Hendrix.

If someone wants to determine who is the greatest pole vaulter, there is a rather simple metric. Anyone who has jumped the highest has a strong argument, although even that could be challenged with separation from closest challenger. Guitar playing doesn't have a simple metric. I've been playing for about 12 years (badly), and the guitar, and music more broadly is much too complex to be described by a simple metric. Hendrix has a beautiful style with his double bends, and they are quite difficult, but to say that it is objectively better than Clapton's blues interpretations is specious. I enjoy both styles, and I have my preference. I would even concede that if you asked one to play the other's style, Hendrix could play Clapton more easily than Clapton could play Hendrix. I don't think there is any question there. But, music is still more than that. And to call one or the other "god" is a reach...unless you are populating a pantheon.

Pretty compelling case to be made that he was murdered. Worth looking into the autopsy report.

Stevie Ray Vaughn, said It best he scared a lot of people. Think about It, you feed your family by entertaining people, then all at once someone like Hendrix shows up, now you realize that you and your love ones may not eat, Hendrix manager knew what the departure of Hendrix would mean for him, however reading these uneducated comments Is almost as as devastating as his death, the very thing that people comments on and selling these comments across the Internet about his habits , yea Steve were right.

Clapton was a great guitar player, but Hendrix was an emissary from a different part of the universe who also happened to play guitar.

A "cutting contest" is a musical duel. A contest of skill to determine supremacy. The player who plays a piece, or a phrase within a piece (this would often happen in the context of two soloists playing within a band) whose technical sophistication the other player cannot match or surpass is the winner. I imagine the practice is as old as musicianship, but the term comes from the New Orleans jazz scene around the turn of the last century.

In Chicago blues guitarists would have on stage duels to see who could play the most impressive licks. This practice was called "cutting heads" or a "head cutting duel." The term is said to come from jazz musicians who would do the same thing.

Every Era has it's heroes that innovated electric guitar music and did something new : 60's Hendrix, clapton 70's : Page, Blackmore 80's : Eddie van Halen : 90's : Satriani, Vai, Gilbert. From then on there were many great guitar players but in my eyes not many innovators in terms of taking electric guitar to the next level. I don't think Hendrix was better then Clapton. Both added something new and we're still talking about both of them more then 50 years later like we talk about Mozart and Beethoven who were innovators in their time.

I saw a video on KZitem about that manager Jimi had. The guy sounded like little more than a mafiosi. He abused Jimi, and controlled him, and some believe he was responsible for his death.

In my time we discovered all those great guitarists and bands. We did not try to see who is the best as each one was the best in is own way: all we did is to buy the records, find a place with a few friends....and listen to this great 'new' music. We just can't compare: is this gutarist better?...who is better, Mozart or beethoven? Most surprising is that those kind of videos are done by ' Guitar music channel' and other channels. Maybe it would be better if they just put a song on the video to share some of this beautiful music.

What’s funny is how they influenced each other..Clapton would go on to play fenders. Jimi was always trying to get that Gibson Marshall sound. Even with the Flying V in a plexi playing sunshine of my love..He didn’t sound have claptons sound. Eric playing vintage Strats still didn’t approach the beauty of are you experienced. They were both incredible in their own way.

People always argue about who was the greatest. I would opine that all of those typically mentioned are AMONG the greatest. I root for the underdogs, those who humbly innovated or excelled. For breadth of genres, I have to say Jeff Beck, also Glenn Tilbrook (Squeeze). For blues masters lesser known today, I have to say Peter Green & Danny Kirwan from the original Fleetwood Mac, maybe Bob Weston from the next Mac. Roy Buchanan pioneered techniques without effects pedals. Then there's lots of famous ones like Gilmour, Satriani, Santana, etc. but Jimi usually wins the vote thus far.

Jimi never once thought he was anywhere near being the best technical guitarist of his time. Neither of them were. Besides, the best or whatever that means, it's all subjective, a matter of opinion.

Get your facts straight. The riff that that is so great in Sunshine of Your Love was written by Jack Bruce. Eric Clapton wrote the music that plays under words "I've been waiting so long, to be where I'm going, in the Sunshine of Your Love."

Clapton has always been overrated & Hendrix had his own unique style that no one had ever seen before. I always said that if Hendrix looked like Gary Coleman he wouldn't have been half as famous! Packaging is important in the R&R world‼

I’ve seen that short clip of Jimi at 1:50 running down the stairs with two strats in both hands seen in many documentaries about Jimi but nobody seems to know the back story on that short clip! All I know is that it’s backstage at a gig in London and given his blue velvet suit he’s wearing in that clip it’s likely late ‘66, early ‘67. He’s runs down the stairs almost as if he was stealing the two Strats in a playful way as he smiles at the camera and shows what he has in his hands in a sort of mischievous manner. Hmmmm
