Just an absolute loss to the musical world. The man was a genius on the guitar and to me Van Halen was the greatest debut album of all time

Absolute legend. And for some strange reason underrated as I don't tend to hear him in the GOAT conversations.

He always made the solos count and a part of the song. As opposed to just shredding and cramming in as many notes as possible.

FUCK 2020

ONLY thing that would make 2020 a good year is if the traitor in chief dies soon.

Hmmm. He’s in every Top 10 Greatest Guitarists lists I’ve ever seen. Guitar Player magazine rates him at #4 and includes him in the Top 12 Most Influential Of All Time.

I'm talking like top 5. Just saying top 10 does not do him justice.

Jimi Hendrix is #1 IMO, he could play 2 guitars at once, including a thrashing solo on lefty and using elbow strumming and his legs and all that. Dude was insane.

You won't get much argument there. :tu He's like Ali in boxing, no sane person will dispute it, imo.

You mean someone without any knowledge of music history. Talk to me about Sluefoot Sam. I'll save you the Google. Sluefoot pretty much showed Hendrix how to play the guitar including teaching him how to play left handed so he could flip his guitar over. But Sluefoot was clean cut...didn't fit the hippie mold which is what the record companies were after. Fast forward and we hear Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, and I Shot the Sheriff. But we never hear about, Sam's cuts...Listen to the Jaybird, Monkeys on Call, or This Car Goes Places.

JH was undisputed at the time of his death. Some that followed him have their cases.
IMO, Prince is in the conversation. He held back on albums it seems; but he would go off in live shows.
