God. Jimi is the greatest guitar player that ever lived. The only one that ever came close was Stevie Ray Vaughn, and he still could'nt match Jimi's awesome skill. All hail the mighty Jimi!!!!!!!!!
There must be some kind of way out of here,
said the joker to the thief,
there's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief.
-God

There has been pretty excellent guitarists in the world. Joe Satriani, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan, all excellent at what they do. But once upon a time, in the late '60's, there was and trio called The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Their frontman, Jimi Hendrix, would be the man who showed the limitless potential in the guitar.
There's something about Jimi that makes me say "F***!" Is it his antics? The lyrics? His ability to play our national anthem with his teeth? Or is it his bluesy distortion and his overwhelming creativity that sets off the "HOLY S***!" meter? Maybe it's all those attributes combined that makes Hendrix the greatest guitarist of all time.
Opinions on three of his songs:
Purple Haze is his only top-chart song, making it an one-hit wonder. The song is a 2+ minute ride in Jimi's pot-filled world, with an cool solo.
Voodoo Child (Slight Return) was his last song for his last album, Electric Ladyland, and it made a hell of a bang. It has an very memorable opening riff and remains one of Jimi's best.
All Along The Watchtower is the second Bob Dylan song he covered, but is considered, even by Dylan, to be Jimi's magnum opus. The solo is considered to be one of the greatest in history.
Jimi Hendrix is an true Guitar Hero! No question.

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.

He was and still is considered to be the greatest guitarist of all time. He reinvented guitar! People can claim how people like Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai are better, but i've heard many of their songs and none of them compare to the beauty of a Hendrix song. Yngwie and Steve are purely guitar techs, Jimi is a fucking musician!!! Yngwie and Steve can move their fingers fast...Jimi makes music!!!
Kevin: Omg! Have you heard Yngwie Malmsteen's new song? His playing is awesome!
Paul: Pfft...You call that music? Listen to some Jimi Hendrix, then talk to me about guitar.

He was a very good musician, but when an artist releases four albums alive, and over thirty after he dies, something is terribly terribly wrong.
Apparently Jimi Hendrix is recording songs from beyond the grave.
