There has been pretty excellent guitarists in the world. Joe Satriani, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan, all excellent at what they do. But once upon a time, in the late '60's, there was and trio called [The Jimi Hendrix Experience]. Their frontman, Jimi Hendrix, would be the man who showed the limitless potential in the guitar.

There's something about Jimi that makes me say "F***!" Is it his antics? The lyrics? His ability to play our [national anthem] with his teeth? Or is it his bluesy distortion and his overwhelming creativity that sets off the "HOLY S***!" meter? Maybe it's all those attributes combined that makes Hendrix the greatest guitarist of all time.

Opinions on three of his songs:

Purple Haze is his only top-chart song, making it an one-hit wonder. The song is a 2+ minute ride in Jimi's pot-filled world, with an cool solo.

Voodoo Child (Slight Return) was his last song for his last album, [Electric Ladyland], and it made a hell of a bang. It has an very memorable opening riff and remains one of Jimi's best.

All Along The Watchtower is the second Bob Dylan song he covered, but is considered, even by Dylan, to be Jimi's magnum opus. The solo is considered to be one of the greatest in history.
