Today he is still cited by many great guitarists as the best there ever was. Dunno where you got "average" from.

That word and Jimi Hendrix should never be used in reference to each other. Jimi, love him or not, will never be anything short of astounding.

okay if you say so, i on the other hand have a different opinion.

But when i listen to jimi and the other guitarists lord mentiond i see they are much talented then he ever was. so thats why i said by todays standards he is not that special. and thats comming from someone who loves his music!

Just because you love his music it doesn't make your claiming him average any more concrete. He is NOT average, that's a fact. You "see" that they are as talented, I don't. I see they might be more technically able, but they aren't better musicians. I'll take All Along The Watchtower over anything those guitarists have put out.

I dont get how anyone can say Malmsteen is the best ever. Sure he's fast, but not innovative or unique. Sure, he can own Tom Morrelo when it comes to speed, but I still consider Morello a far better guitarist.

Funny, because that's exactly how many guitarists look at Synyster Gates. Try telling that to an Avenged fan and they throw fits more or less.

joe satriani is no doubt an absolutely immense technician...but he has all the soul and feeling of a house brick...lets not forget the techniques that jimi invented without the aid of all the technical gadgetry that todays guitarists enjoy

and lets establish 1 clear fact about playing the guitar...fast does not = good...
