Music Hendrix or SRV?

[Azurus]

For me they are the two best guitarists ever, but who is FHs favourite?

SRV

Hendrix

Picked there two stand out performances.

 

[old.Tohtori]

My preferred would be Carlos Santana, but SRV wins hands down in this.

I've always liked Steve Vai too, for, well some reason.

 

[leviathane]

gotta be Hendrix, the things he did on guitar pretty much inspired so many ppl and changed music.

But it'll always go down to the old debate between the usual suspects at whos better, satriani, hendrix etc etc.

 

[Aoami]

Hendrix by an aboslute country mile.

 

[cHodAX]

Neither, Vai blows them both away and frankly Nuno is probably better than them as well.

 

[Olgaline]

cant compare the two

and why exactly specificly tho's two ?

 

[tris-]

always hendrix

 

[Lollie]

slash

Prince is very under-rated, amazing muscian that bloke is.

Well they are always the two top for me. Hendrix due to absolute revolutionising the electric guitar and Vaughn for his insane tone and sense of melody.

 

[Aoami]

Very different. It wasn't so much about what Hendrix played, it was how he did it.

Hendrix is a legend no doubt, innovated a whole new sound and style of playing. SRV is very very talented but his own music never really did alot for me but then I guess I am not his target audience.

Yea i would say the say about Vai, i respect him as an innovator but the whole 1000 notes a second style was never my thing.

 

[Aoami]

Don't like the kind of stuff SRV does at all. Hendrix was a top gutiarist and had more cool in his little finger than most people have in their whole bodies. <3

 

[fl3a]

both.

 

[Raven]

Mark Knopfler

Though out of those two, hendrix

 

[megadave]

Anyone seen Jimi Hendrix: Live at Monterey? I can't stress how awesome it is.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Prince is very under-rated, amazing muscian that bloke is.

Aye, can agree with this.

Most people i tell that i listen to prince(power generation for the win!), think i'm a loonie.

The man does a LOAD of music, and yet, somehow, almost every song is pure gold.

 

[pikeh]

Dave Gilmour anyone?
Eric Johnson?

im not a fan at all of Hendrix but i cant deny his ability and revolutionary approach to guitar.
SRV was a legend of course.

 

[Edmond]

I think you are all forgetting one legend...........

That is fair enough bud, I know it isn't everyones cup of tea.

Slash maybe isnt the "best" ever but he gets a tone out the guitar nooone else can match.

 

[Olgaline]

this thread should really be named best Rock-guitarists

I love Slash and his is very talented but he is incredibly sloppy at times, I have been fortunate to attend three GnR gigs in the early 90's and the amount of bum notes Slash hits in a 3 hour set is scary.

he is getting on a bit tho

Don't really like SRV or any of these speed playing as i dont think the tunes sound as good
Technically they are amazing, but the sound that comes out is far more important to me than the technical ability of the quitarist

Same reason i believe Daron Malakian belongs in the hall of fame, technically his tunes aren't really all that hard you could probably learn it in under a week but the end result is awesome
