Jimmy Hendrix

Truth.
Although, Tom Morello has done some fascinating things.

Don't know his work but will look for it. I can hardly imagine how cool J was. Mind blowing art!

Jimi's lyrics for Axis Bold As Love speak about an artist's experience of the power of color:

Very true, the Electric Ladyland album in particular still amazes me every time I hear it, RIP Jimi. Wish I'd been born earlier so I could have seen him live.....

Even ZZ was in awe!

I agree about Jimi! I have always liked Slash too.

Still enjoy Jimi's music. Electric Ladyland, in my opinion only, is his best album.

Saw him in concert many times, met him once at a post-concert party. Interesting person, brilliant musician. Even my daughter who was born 20+ years after his death knows and loves his music. That sorta' says it all.

My dad is a Brahams, Chopin type only.......Sinatra.....

I played Jimi Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner for him years ago. He absolutely loved it.
He does not have use for any other single note Jimi ever played.

I grew up on Jimi, think he was pure genius. Kind of obvious.

Nothing against Jimmy - but there was Andre Segovia - and there are few that touch the Maestro and his guitar playing - just saying.

I love Jimi but we are blessed to have superb guitarists today that Jimi has more than likely influenced:
Edward Van Halen (the most innovative guitarist on the planet)
Joe Satriani
Kirk Hammett
Zakk Wylde
Steve Vai

...so many more :)

@Joy
I would add Gary Clark, Jr. to that list
Thank you Jimi !!!

And Stevie Ray Vaughn and Al Green with B B King and Eric Clapton and ZZ.
Guitars are the high art of blues and rock. Electric on the list but in earlier tiimes Bob Dylan had the sound.
