in terms of pure technical ability or greatness....seems like the consensus is Hendrix was the best and no one comes close? do you agree?
Buckethead is amazing. I'd bet money he's faster and has more technical mastery.
Prince. Freaking MONSTER!!

Speaking of underrated, John Mayer comes to mind. Unbelievably talented. Dude can shred and write hit songs. You gotta be able to do both if you wanna be considered a true guitar virtuoso. Just watch him play Neon live on acoustic on youtube (starts at one minute mark in the video after he freestyles an intro solo) It's crazy how technically difficult that song is (if you know you know) but he also is singing! I mean, He's even shared the stage with some amazing guitarists like Joe Bonamassa and BB King.Yeah, it is crazy how underrated Prince was as a guitarist. The man could absolutely run with the best.
Anyway there are lots of more technically gifted guitarists than Jimi Hendrix. It doesn't mean they are better than him.

Imo, that was more about being famous/ alive the right time then anything else.It's not just about technical mastery. Jimi Hendrix was way ahead of his time in a variety of areas when it came to the craft of playing the electric guitar.
There may be people who have been able to play it better than him, but nobody played the guitar like he did at the time. And that is its own feat in itself. What he did was the foundation of several generations of amazing guitarists.
yep nobody will ever play like him, no one will ever play like rory gallagher etc... there are extraordinary guitarists everywhere but every single one of them is unique, that's why I don't like to compare guitarists or artists in general.It's not just about technical mastery.
