Unfair comparison... Eddie has better chops, but would he have had them if Jimi never existed?

Can't compare them, especially since you did not dictate what we are comparing them on. Best is such a silly way to word it. Do you mean the best blues riffs? Prolly Hendrix. Best at dancing on stage? Best technique? Best tone?

Seems kinda trollish, dude... maybe if the question was worded differently or you compared something that deserves comparison. My personal vote - between EVH and JH, the best guitarist is the one that plays best in their particular situation. Oh wait - that's both, and so I guess it is a tie...

:rolleyes:
