Best Drummer

No... Hendrix is easily the best guitarist ever. He never used a rhythm guitarist and he somehow accomplished the same sound, and if that doesn't make you smile, you best listen to any of the Experience's three excellent albums. He brought so many elements to his guitar, and he though he made his name showboating on it, he was a real compositional genius. There may have been faster players, there may have been more emotional players, but Hendrix really elevated guitar playing beyond the rudimentary basics. There have been so many people to draw their styles off him - Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Mayer come to mind - but none of them, NONE of them could ever match his skill.
