Ya....I'm a day early...but I'm gonna be busy tomorrow.
No one to date has matched his guitar skills!! He played a right handed guitar (upside down and backwards) with his left hand and played it way better than most!!
I see you made it back early!!!!!!!!!!!I cannot disagree.

Yes, there are some people who can play a guitar with tons of skill and can play very complex music but Jimmy could make his guitar play sounds (unreal sounds) that have never been reproduced by anyone that I have heard. They must also be able to play a guitar on the wrong side. If you have an example of someone who can mimic all the weird psychedelic sounds Jimmy played please post them here. Please include people who can play the same psychedelic sounds with their teeth, behind their back and behind their head. The person must be able to do all these things and produce the same psychedelic sounds to be comparable:________________There have been plenty of guitarists that have not only matched his skills, but far surpassed his skills.
He was a pioneer for his time, but that time was 50 years ago.

So you admit that there's no one person that can do all the things he did on stage? I never said that there were no great (really great) guitarists. I said that no one person could do all the things he did and produce the psychedelic sounds at the same time?? Any great guitarist can maybe reproduce "one" of his sounds/riffs but no one person can reproduce all of his music using the methods he used. I posted examples of my proof:Really? Then you're:
a.) Out of touch with guitarists of the last 50 years
b.) Limited in your exposure to said guitarists.
Ever hear some of the stuff Zappa's guitarists did? How about Vai? How about Satriani? (that list goes on and on). Geez, a 14-year old today can recreate those sounds with ease and have, easily.
Jimi was a pioneer, no doubt, and I am a huge fan. But your statement is just completely out of touch with reality.
Playing with teeth, behind back, etc, etc, is a stage gimmick and has no bearing on the argument. Because those "acts" were performed on stage, and NOT in the studio where he recorded those said sounds in the first place.

No, that's not what I said at all.
Just shut up.

Lipitor, why deprive yourself?
Maybe I should check mine.
Have you ever heard Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd? I'll compare that guitar riff to anything Hendrix ever did. He was good, but let's not go overboard. I respect your right to think he was great, but I can't agree that nobody else in the last 50 years has been as good.No one to date has matched his guitar skills!!
