jimi was the best because of his dynamics for one thing, the rise and fall of intensity in his playing is fucking insane and also the main reason why you can play the same fingers as hendrix but never sound the same, it was said in a rolling stone interview that jimi played his amps at full volume and used his guitar to control the level, and that made his live shit unreal, made his playing have multiple voices and shit, you listen to him live, at least from a guitarists standpoint, between the way his fret hand manipulates teh sound and the way hes stroke the shit, its fuckin scary, hes so damn powerful, and the feedback man, other people had to literally strangle and fuck their guitars to get even the same sounds as hendrix, but hendrix did it with ease and steeze, look when people say hendrix is god, its not cause what he played was so good, well it is, but for those who know, its because what he was capable of was divine, an example of what i mean, look at the band of gypsies concert, the first show when they recorded the gnarly version of machine gun, that was fuckin epic, the next three shows were nowhere near, but still hendrixes bad sessions were still some crazy fuckin guitar
Fuck You
