Damn.....50 years now...

My friends (who are mostly musicians) have a lot of conversations about this. Hendrix was a pioneer but like all other pioneers they get surpassed over time. My tops are Steve Howe from Yes, Asia, GTR. He could do it all, rock, classical, jazz, blues, metal, country. His talent had a wide range. Another great is Roy Clark. He was better and faster than most of the Metal God guitarists.
