    Amazed no one has mentioned Jason Becker guy was a genius. Had a couple of solo albums in the 80s and then got into Dave lee Roths band unfortunately he was diagnosed with ALS lou gehrig's disease and now cant play guitar and is consigned to a wheel chair. Anyway listen to jason killing it!!!!

    Im not a huge fan of his stuff, but i think sometimes Prince is Jimi Hendrixs illegitimate effeminate son.He just seems to play as though he is playing air guitar, but he actually has one in his hands.Genius.

    Imagine saying Hendrix wasn't as good as Jinky.
    Hendrix is the master of rock guitar. There is no question there, why would people even get involved in such a futile argument? Is Messi's ability questioned now? Something that commentators have never seen before. What kind of magic is this? Something that musicians will praise like a * forever more. Why would they do that? There's a lot of good guitar players. What is it about Hendrix that makes human beings act like they've suddenly connected with the universe?

    Big question,i think 2 different ways to look at it,solo and a Group Guitarist.Very open,loads of great Axemen out there.
    For Jimmy Page as a Group Guitarist is hard to match,as is Hendrix as a Solo.Another Solo Gem right up there is Beck.
