Jimi died over 40 years ago ... at the age of 27 … after completely re-defining the instrument AND simultaneously becoming the single highest paid act in the country while doing it
how ignorant do people have to be to compare these great guitarists?
Hendrix was Great for his time
Steve Vai is Great for his time
it's that simple … there is no "better", or "greater"
if competition is THAT important to you … then get into sports ... and leave this great art alone!

If you wanna do a cover from a song, you should always do it in your own way, 'cause the artistic work on the background is so unique that it can't be copied perfectly :)

I love how he does the solo in the middle exactly as the original. It is somehow to show Hendrix great respect.

steve vai is pop star lol

Ya know Satch did say he started playing guitar because of Jimmy's death, so if Jimmy was alive would we have a Satch or Vai?

@fernominal I don't think so... she doesn't look like Ann Marie.
Face shape is different. And the eyes...
...But I gotta agree, Ann Marie is an AMAZING violinist!

The girl they show at the begining of the video ( with the letters U.R.A.Q.T) is Ann Marie Calhoun, (she's an awsome violinist) She is really beautiful on Steve Vai's new DVD "where the WILD THINGS are" !!!

@OfficialSilverViper *Sigh*
There is a difference between making fun of and making a joke. Please learn it. Vai clearly idolises the guy, which explains the several different Hendrix covers Vai has done.

@OfficialSilverViper No worries. I would recommend his stuff. It's weird and definitely not to everyone's tastes, but his ability is astounding!
