1)Chuck Berry

Have always been loving Hendrix and his guitar playing. Can't really put my words in what i think but he is really a great musican that i guess have inspiered lots of todays artists!

A shame that he did in such early age :unsure:

he would have never survived the 70s

:book:

Overrated like crazy. He was great - better tahn Ill ever be - but he really wasn't as great as he gets credit for. SRV, Chuck Berry, Bo Didly, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, Bonnie Raitt....so many better than him. And those were just the Americans.

Exactly, if anything I think he's become vastly underated these days. He's a legend, and his music changed music forever.

do me a favor dude take a random guitar mag and look at the "Best guitarist ever poll"hendrix is always number 1 he's still overrated. there's no denying that used to be an awesome guitarist but there were/are and will be a lot better guitarists.

And Slash is classed as the best living guitar player :blink:

I just can't believe that.

Jimi hendrix was incredibly amazing.

He is becoming overrated, and I think it's a shame that so many people say they don't like him, when they haven't even listened to at least one of his albums. :monkey:

Underated in music circles in general, of course people who read and buy guitar magazines and such will have heard of him.

I dont see that here. people that aren't involved into guitar music especially name Hendrix as the best cause he's a legend and one of the most famous guitar players.

younger kids may not know hm but that doesn't mean that they underrate him they simply don't know him.

you guys that say hes overrated are just dumbasses. hendrix is the greatest and will always be the greatest. my uncle has an old bootleg from a show that jimi did and HOLY SHIT. he played with his tongue right handed left handed and he could have played with his toes if he wanted. better than any steve vai show i ever went to.

p.s. the 70's would have never happened without him!!

He was good, but nowhere near as good as some people make him out to be.

If you think he was on the same level as Steve Vai for instance, you're sadly mistaken. More influencial than Vai? Yes. Better than Steve Vai as a guitarist? No.

Hendrix was a complete stud. not overrated at all, IMO. Completely different era so you have to keep that in mind when comparing to those who came after him. On just about anyones top 10 list, I bet most, if not all, of those guartists would say they were influenced by Hendrix. He and Slash are the shit...

I think Jimi is without a doubt one of the best guitar players ever. He had the ability to play CRAZY guitar (Voodoo Chile). As well as bringing it down a notch (Little Wing). So to end this, he is the one and only Jimi Hendrix... B)
