@willschmidguitar well how many people know who Wes is compared to Jimi?? rolling stone like many companies and corporation put money ahead of actual music. and besides greatest guitarists ever is tooo subjective it actually doesnt make sense for them to say who the best guitarists are because. music isnt relevant that way.

@MrGoflyers this is a one nice example of hypocrisy. Again, Montgomery was an amazing guitar player, a person that shaped jazz guitar for years ahead. Hendrix did exactly the same, more for a rock music, but it doesnt matter. Music is everything, its huge, its more then your judgement, or mine, or even Hendrixes or Wes. you are trying to compare those who are the best among the musicians, you are doing a senseless job. Time will judge much better then you.

@vekkth What planet dropped you off! Since when are people not entitled to opinions and ideas that oppose each other. Let's put it this way. Music is Art. Art can be a Masterpiece. Art can also be paint by numbers. Montgomery's work is a Masterpiece. Hendrix's work is paint by numbers all Art. OK with that?

@VisualGP1 an intellectual person on teh internetz. someone, call the media, he might get away.

[vekkth]

people comparing Hendrix and Montgomery should be ashamed of themselves. Learn to understand progress, revolution, innovation. Montgomery was a great player, Hendrix was a great player. If you think praising one of them higher then others makes you a better person or your musical tastes better, you are wrong.

@willschmidguitar Rolling Stone Magazine that say's it all LOL.Like getting your info on the real world fromTIME magazine! I agree with what your saying about other's it's not a competion it's art.Still some become known& popular. While other's are just flat out amazing & nobody know's they exist. Gatton,Carlton,Segovia,William­s,Green,Atkins on & on &on all the best

@MrGoflyers Yeah, I didn't see Master Montgomery anywhere on Rolling Stone's supposed "Best Guitarists Ever" list! Kurt Cobain and John Lennon were high on this list to! Don't get me wrong, love Nirvana, like the Beatles, but seriously, they weren't among the best guitarists ever. Wes should be number 1, even Hendrix is a lesser guitarist than Master Wes Montgomery.

Great song. Amazing player. I just want to throw out there that Hendrix was very well versed in jazz and played in numerous jazz bands before he hit it big. Thanks for the upload
