I love hearing great guitar players talking about other great guitar players. It's all about respect. Awesome.

Hendrix = God

yeah but what about buddy guy muddy waters howlin wolf les paul bb king robert johnson chuck berry etc without these players hendrix would never have developed his style at all

@shredmaster100 It's not about clean playing and perfect riffs, it's about creating something new. Something which a legion of bands and individuals could grow and expand on. Without him, you may not have the same music to listen to, today.

@icecreamforcrowhurst

Ernie Isley (of the Isley Brothers who Jimi once played for) comes closer to Jimi Hendrix than anyone. Brutally underrated guitarist who keeps the Hendrix legacy alive.

@tomthefunky I wouldn't say Cropper was on Hendrix's level as an improviser and soloist, but IMO he was a more mature musician, and a better ensemble player. That being said, I think since Hendrix had to do so much backup work before going solo, when he did get his own band it was like a dam bursting and he could do all the things he hadn't been able to as a sideman. I do agree that Cropper is one of the guys every guitarist should study though. The man is the definition of economy and groove.
