He is spectacular, he's not a technical wizard like so many are today, but back in 1970 he sure as hell was.

Blues_Man: both guitarists had their entire lives to learn guitar, saying Jimi had 3, is, kind of retarded. :P But if you mean his career, than yeah, but that's what happens when you inhale your own puke, your career ends. ;)

This is retarded enough a battle (as I can see now.) both guitarists had their place, both had something special, and both changed the world of guitar.

Now, stop sword fighting with e-penises, and go do something productive.
