there is another great guitarist named TheDooo, he is a youtuber with perfect pitch, he can play everything without problems even if he listen a song for the 1st time, maybe he has more thechnique and speed then the quitar players named above and in all the guitarists included in old rankings but i want to consider the creativity too, and the contribution for a band

Dude it's Hendrix.

Let us be eternally grateful that the American Social Services are so tight they wouldn't buy a guy, who was using a broomstick as emotional support animal, a guitar despite having been told that not having a guitar 'might result in psychological damage'.

As a result Hendrix's first instrument was a ukulele with just one string and now we know why he just bends the string until he finds the note that he wants.

Fretboards are for chumps.

i think there is no way Handrix is the best guitar player ever, maybe the most famous, today there are kids who can play his lines, of course he is a great guitar player but not the best

[Opinion Owner]

You miss the whole fucking point.

Hendrix is NOT technical, Ringo Starr is NOT technical, what they have is raw fucking talent, they FEEL IT, they can you feel what they feel.

Technical ability means exactly fuck all.

If that was what mattered the best guitar player in the world would be a machine.

[Asker]

wow, are you depressed or what? too much hate inside.
I never said that technique and speed are the only important thing, and i neve said Handrix is a bad guitar player, not only are you putting words in my mouth that I have never said, but you are saying that the guitarists listed above have not created anything, you are probably locked in your own little world of a specific genre, I have listened to all genres of music

[Opinion Owner]

So you are whining at me because you think I am putting words in you mouth and then you presume to speak for me?

I am not putting words in your mouth you fucking dumb fuck it's right here; quote 'today there are kids who can play his lines'.

That is you completely missing the fucking point and making the case that technical skill is what matters.

[Asker]

you evidently have a dyslexia problem in addition to education, I wrote that thing about children who know how to play his lines to make u understand that on some parameters guitarists like him have been surpassed since long time and I have never criticized his creativity, but you cannot base your choices only on subjective parameters, what you are writing is only part of your tastes, when you say "they can you feel what they feel" is not true for all the people, i don't feel nothing when i hear Handrix of Ringo Star
you said im dumb as fuck, well my IQ is 150 and and people tell me i'm very smart unlike you who are not making a good impression, you can't write a sentence without including insluts :D :facepalm: if you have the slightest reason for what you say there would be no need to get angry like that, I know because I also studied psychology, and it is evident that you are not well

[Opinion Owner]

Dude you can't even tell that you are guilty of the crimes which you incorrectly assign to me.

As you didn't define 'best at what' all of this inherently fucking subjective, which you would know if you had an IQ of even 100.

You are a fucking retard, that isn't an opinion it is an objective fact based on the evidence of your testimony.

Now fucking shut up and fuck off you twat and next time you want to tell yourself or someone else what your IQ is you remember that you asked a multiple choice question about who the best guitar player was and didn't even include Hendrix.

Don't take my word for it, go and do a fucking survey and ask people how dumb they think you must be to have done that.

Spoiler alert: No one is going to say 150.

[Asker]

ye ye ok, we are obliged to say that Handrix will be the best guitarist forever, there will never be anyone like him, if you say that I do not doubt it, cause you are e god, you're screwing up crazy because i told you i don't like Handrix, everyone who doesn't like Handrix is retarded and stupid, it seems logical

[Asker]

and you know why I told you that Handrix can't be the best guitarist, because you said that he is the best as if it were an objective fact, if you would have said, (in my opinion) it's Handrix because... explaining your reasons, I wouldn't have contradicted you, instead you expect him to be included in the best 10 and not just insulting those who don't like him, think before you speak ;-)

[Opinion Owner]

Ok, you do NOT have 150 IQ, I don't know who told you that shit but it's fucking WAY off omg.

It doesn't matter what you taste is, as I have already explained to you Hendrix was one of the original creators that all modern guitar is built from, it's like asking which country has made the greatest contribution in world history and not mentioning the Greeks or the Romans.

I don't give a single fuck what you like and what you don't like, it doesn't matter.

This is subjective to a point but there most certainly some objective elements to it but you don't understand any of this shit.

[Opinion Owner]

Sorry but line of argument isn't going to work for you because you already told me that I am both subjectively and objectively wrong for pathetic fucking reasons.

I already shut that down.

If you weren't so fucking dumb you would already know that and wouldn't be pitching it.

It's also Hendrix, not Handrix, Mr. 150.

[Opinion Owner]

Also YES, Hendrix's contribution to guitaring means that he gets included in the fucking list for the rest of time, he is an immortal, it doesn't fucking matter what anyone else ever does.

You don't have to think he is the best but you do have to include him on the list.

And no there is nothing subjective about that.

[Opinion Owner]

It doesn't matter what anyone likes.

[Asker]

oh sorry if i put an A instead of a E Mr. smart smile, be careful you're about to implode

Some unknown person sweeping up in a studio. Seriously. Jeff Beck, who should be in the discussion, once talked about such a person in an interview. Jeff was in a studio, and the guy who was sweeping up asked if he could check out Jeff's guitar. Jeff, being the cool guy he was, allowed it and the guy proceeded to blow him away.

[LiamJHayden]

But Beck, Clapton, and Blackmore all lauded Jimi Hendrix, so he should be in the discussion. Also Uli Jon Roth, Jason Becker, Marty Friedman, Paul Gilbert, Tony MacAlpine, Chris Impellitteri, Michael Angelo Batio... and for creative use this guy is otherworldly

Tbh, never heard of these blokes. I usually like giving credit to originalists like Chuck Berry who made the art form for others to improve.

[Asker]

[OddBeMe]

I bet you know you a song of his.
