Jimmy Page or Jimmi Hendrix? Who is better?

Page is amazing. He didnt copy blues masters. He took what they did and put his own spin on it. He made it his own. For someone to say he copied them is like saying all new metal bands copied off of sabbath. its not true. He loved that music and made it his own. Hendrix was just famous for being an adequete guitarist who was a druggie. No comparisson

Ben Harper is definately better live.  Even if you don't like his songs on the radio-he is so much better live.  I seen them when the opened for Pearl Jam and they were amazing. Actually both bands were that nite.

Well, I am not going to be as vehement as Xaemiejiel L when it comes to Jimi Hendrix, but I have to agree with most of what he said.\n\nOne of the things that put Jimi where he is as far as icon status was the fact that he was the first to do it.  Sometimes it isn't the person who masters all sorts of different styles that is revered as a legend as much as it is the person who pioneers new innovative styles who becomes the legend.\n\nWhy is Miles Davis revered in Jazz when there were so many other trumpeters who could play higher, faster and with better "technique" than him?  Well, it's because he never became complacent with any one style.  He was always changing things around and finding new ways to express his inner voice.  So was it with Jimi Hendrix.\n\nAlso, remember the equipment he had to work with was all analog, filled with vacuum tubes and other ancient regalia.  A lot of the wild sounds he got was from manipulating his proximity to the speakers.  The wa-wa pedals and fuzz phasers were just added bonus for someone of Jimi's instinct.  He just had a feel for "the way things should sound."\n\nAnd realize that he played a right-handed guitar left-handed!  That also added to the unusual quality of his sound when he strummed the chords.\n\nLastly, let's not forget that he was a very extravagant and flamboyant man.  People were interested in him not only because of his music, but because he represented an image for the pop culture/counter culture of the day.  Vietnam, drugs, the sexual revolution and a general anti-establishment attitude all contributed to what the public audience saw in him.\n\nJimi Hendrix is a legend, not just because his music was so ground-breaking, but also because Jimi-the-man was interesting to the average John Q. Public.

They are different models of guitar made by Fender.\n\nWikipedia claims that guitars from other manufacturers with similar features are also sometimes called Stratocasters, but guitar enthusiasts may frown on this.\n\nAs for the best electric guitar, that's been asked already:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061123111153AAWA4mf\n\nIn my ill-informed opinion, it's your skills in making sound, not the instrument, that matters most. I could own the best guitar in the world and still suck. Jimmi Hendrix could pick up a guitar made from cheese and make it sound cool.

hendrix was amazing, he changed music forever. he was one of the first people to use marshall amps because his old amps could not stand up to his tours. All of the four CDs he released in his life were amazing. He was also a pioneer of effects, he and cream came up with the wah wah pedal around the same time. The stratocaster was also put in to wide use because of him. \n\nhe was the greatest rock guitar player ever  \n\n"And so castles made of sand fall in the sea eventually"\n(Castles made of sand)

Led Zeppelin, Because they had the Best front man ever Robert Plant, one of the best drummers in the world John Bonham and he was in his 20's, a Bass player named John Paul Jones that was one of the most requested session players at the time....oh yeah they had a guy who played the guitar named Jimmy Page. Plus when Bonzo died they split because they knew the band would never be as good as what they were with him.

Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, for sure.  Have you ever really listened to Layla?  The guitar strings almost speak.  Of course, I'm 62, sooo

John Lennon. The country stopped when he died. Can you say the same about Jimi?

Deep Purple's Richie Blackmore wails on the guitar. Yet he started about the same time as Jimmy Page in the late 60s. Actually a few years later than Page. Page was a studio musicians and played for the Yardbirds before he joined Led Zep in 1969. Same holds true for Eric Clapton, he started in the 1960s. On sheer talent, however, I would also put Jeff Beck up there, yet he also might have started in the late 1960s. So to be exact, someone who definitely started in the 1970s, I would say the best is Eddie Van Halen.
