Greatest guitar player, maybe for his time yes, but not the best who ever walked this planet. I bet right as you are reading this post there is someone sitting in there basement playin, and he might be the best guitar player in the world, but will never be discovered. The thing is without, Hendrix, where would rock music be today, well it probabaly wouldn't be anything like it is now.

There are thousnads of amazing guitar players that we have never heard of, so it is hard to even say anyone is the best guitar player. Jimi is great, but he's not the BEST. And same with marcaus Paus, he might be the so called "fatsest" player, but i bet you there is someone in the corner of his or her room playin that is faster. But we will never know. But i do love all of jimi's stuff.
