About it....

[Not-Thrilled]

Actually, I don't really like him but I could only think of 9 people. And Hendrix is better than Ang, but I think that Angus Young is one of the best guitarists of the last 50 years- he keeps it simple, but people seem to just spit at his feet 'cause he isn't some bloody shredder. And chuck berry was one of the pioneers of rock. If there wasn't Berry, ask yourself if we'd even have bands like 'DC or even Hendrix!

Yeah he was a pioneering rock figure, but Hendrix did more for the genre. Without Hendrix we wouldn't have most of the styles we have today. There were similar artists to Chuck Berry in his era, just he was the best of the bunch. There wasn't, and never has been since, someone like Hendrix.

For some reason it double posted :s

And yes, a middle-aged man in a school uniform with a Gibson SG is all I can think about.

ROCK ON!

I love/hate watching Hendrix play... he makes it seem soooooooooo easy. But then you try it and are like Blimey! I can't do this!

Haha, so true. He just did it so perfectly.

They're not the best guitarists, but here are my favorite guitarists. People that I can just sit and listen to all day long. It's gonna be disagreed with but these things happen.

Jimi Hendrix... (that solo in "Little Ivey" (live version of "Little Wing" minus the annoying bells) blows me away everytime I listen to it... 1:43 is the start of pure Heaven for a full two minutes. )

Kurt Cobain (Nirvana)... (the solo in "Sappy" pretty much defined how I play guitar.)

John Fruscante (RHCP)... anything this guy plays is gold to me

Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth)... not nescessarily the "best" guitar player, but distortion player? He's the top of the league with that.

Curt Kirkwood (Meat Puppets)... He has such an interresting/different style of playing. Just listen to "Meat Puppets II" and you'll see what I mean.

Brad Nowell (Sublime)... another guy that could make the guitar sound beautiful.

Rivers Cuomo (Weezer)... everytime I watch the "Undone" video I have to laugh at his "I'm bored, this is too easy" expression on his face when he goes into the solo.

Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains)/Kim Thayill (Soundgarden)... They added their own personalities into the typical shredding techniques.


And that's all I can think of at the moment.
