TrickyTrev Posted 24 February 2005 Share Posted 24 February 2005 Jimi could do more than the tricks, which don't impress me and I wish he didn't do them. He is FAR better than that. The introduction to Little Wing is one of the most beautiful examples of controla nd restraint of an instrument. Vodoo Chile (Slight Return) is a (still) unrivalled exhibition of control over feedback to effect the body and mind, the sounds are so diorientating its unbelievable. Like all great musicans, Jimi did more than play songs for the sake of them sounding good, he played songs with soul and feeling. That is why he is unique in the list of great innovative guitar players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that makes them the greatest guitarists in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetsword Posted 14 April 2005 Share Posted 14 April 2005 You guys are ridiculous, why not mention the underappreciated guitarists that play with passion like Steve Howe, he's one of my favorites. If you haven't heard South Side of the Sky, you guys need to take a listen, his guitar wails and Rick Wakeman breaks out one of the best piano solos ever in a progressive rock song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burger Posted 14 April 2005 Share Posted 14 April 2005 I don't know about the greatest ever but the most significant to emerge in the last 5 years since I've been quite into guitar music is Albert Hammond Jr, not that great, but a lot of people copy him.

FNQ Posted 23 April 2005 Share Posted 23 April 2005 I would say Eddie Van Halen or Brian May. May isn't technically as good as most of the names mentioned, but he is completely unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
