Honestly, Hendrix is overrated, imo. Sure, it's good music, but highly overrated. Yay for drugs though, which is the ONLY reason he is what he is. He was creative, but still.
Name another guitarist that could play with his teeth.
Jimi Hendrix is the greatest. His music was ahead of it's time because it was raw and uninhibited. He knew how to channel his soul through his guitar, which is something very few musicians can do. Buckethead is the only player I have seen that can do that recently, most other 'great' guitarists are known for their talent. Talent can't compare to the human soul; you can't learn or practice to the point where you can put all of your emotions into your guitar.
Not to mention Hendrix set a groundwork for damn near every genre of music to come out in the next 20 years following his death.
Zakk Wylde is the one that is overrated... pinch harmonics and pentatonic runs don't impress me. He is good, but doesn't deserve a spot among THE greats. Maybe a list of top 30 or 20, but top ten? gtfo
