    In what can only be described as glaringly obvious, Rolling Stone Magazine (which launched locally this month) has declared Jimi Hendrix to be the greatest guitarist of all time. I don’t think there will be too many arguments here.

    From his iconic riffs in Voodoo Chile, to his re-working of All Along Along The Watchtower, and his rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner, there is no doubt that Hendrix is the single most influential guitarist of all time. Rolling Stone stated it best:

    His playing was effortless. There’s not one minute of his recorded career that feels like he’s working hard at it – it feels like it’s all flowing through him.

    He seamlessly weaves chords and single-note runs together and uses chord voicings that don’t appear in any music book. His riffs were a pre-metal funk bulldozer, and his lead lines were an electric LSD trip down to the crossroads, where he pimp-slapped the devil.

    Prove them wrong. I dare you. I don’t think you can.

    Other guitarists included Eric Clapton at number two, and Jimmy Paige at number three. The Top 10 also features Pete Townshend from The Who, Eddie van Halen, and jazz/blues pioneer BB King.
