The simplse fact that he could play his guitar with a bow (and not bow and arrow) and he could solo on his 12 string is just cool. Than there's Hendrix, Pete Townsend, the list just goes on and on. Get back to the roots of rock.
I have the Zepplin DVD(s) where Page blows up.
Dazed and Confused (27 minutes long)
I love when he starts playing the re-verb with that violin bow.
Also...watching someone play is farrrr more impressive than just hearing them.
Technical solo or not. its all solos and technical are harder so that makes Angelo a better guitar player for the matter that he plays more complex music.
Angelo = More complex guitar playing = More Talented guitar player = Better guitar player.
Jimi = less complex guitar playing = less talented guitar player = not the better guitar player.
i hope you understood what i mean!!!

That's technical skill though, many random session guitarists or bedroom guitarists have more technical skill than Jimi Hendrix.
They aren't better.
"its all solos and technical are harder so that makes Angelo a better guitar player for the matter that he plays more complex music."
But he doesn't make BETTER music. That is what this thread is about.
Satch and Vai are better technically, they could never make the incredible guitar music Hendrix could. Nobody could make music any better on a guitar. Than Hendrix.

well thats just your opinion

well hats just my opinion too
Hi guys. . .
Well lets see. Ive played guitar in pubs and clubs now for 9 years (since I was 14) with many different people and different bands from all kinds of different musical backgrounds and all with there own style of music. One of the greatest things about doing what I do is that I get to see just how much it effects peoples lives. Now one thing ive definitely learnt is that there is no way at all that you would ever be able to change a true rock music lovers opinion of their favourite guitarist because your favourite guitarist says so much about a person. The way they play there music ( ie as mentioned with or without a bow) ha or the style - every single guitarist in the world puts his or her own variation into the style they are playing even if they think they are just imitating someone else. Now every guitarist that is mentioned above is incredibly talented and also very different. A Yngwie Malmsteen fan is so different to hendrix or jeff beck or van halen or jimi or . . .
The guitar becomes simply an extention of the body that allows the player to act out his emotions in the form of music and because no two people are the same, neither are two guitar players styles ever really all that similar. Because of this I don't think you could ever say that this solo is better than that or so on. You can on the other hand say what you prefer. so . .. . . (eventually - very sorry to have droned on but I really do love my guitar talk) here is some songs that contain some of the solos that I believe are truly awesome. You should check them out if you havent already. Pink Flloyd - comfortably numb, john norum - Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesdays gone (one of the most emotional guitar pieces ever), Jimmie Page - stairway to heaven (obviously), slash(guns n roses - november rain(just pure class), Lynyrd skynyrd - freebird(just jaw dropping around 6 min mark and after). I have alot more if people are interested just say.
Nice reading through all your messages
Bring back real rock!
Simon (just another fallen lemming lead guitarist) if we ever do a gig near you come check us out. Although actually - dont! After talking about all the greats I think Ill just play at home from now on lol. Cya
