Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington would beg to differ.

If you want to call Hendrix a legend, then call Elvis one as well. Without Elvis Jimi wouldn't exist as a musician as it was Elvis who bridged the gap between whites and black.

So who would you say was the most influential guitarist on other guitarists since the 1960s?

BB King.

Nigh on every rock song you've ever listened to has been indirectly inspired by this man.

Can't tell if you're trolling or seriously trying to make the case that Hendrix is an overrated guitarist, but I'm leaning towards the former considering that you seem to be making the case more along the lines of that you think he sucks.

Either way though, bad argument or bad trolling, your username sucks.

Well BB King is defanitily one of the best and a good choice Ziggy. But there are just so many other guitarist that qualify also. On ongoing debate that seems endless without any viable result in the end as to who is the best of the best.

Personally .. I would prefer a thread dedicated to Randy Rhoads.

It's a case of you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't....

Slow the fuck down just a bit, people will take you more serious.

Ok, if we narrow the parameters down to just the heavy rock and metal genres who would you say was the most influential on other guitarists?
