ok kids, you’re having a healthy argument. SJ has some good points. I’m lucky to play with killer devoted pros who work harder than I do. Dedication to excellence, always striving for more is how we achieve greatness. The problem here is that Jimi is so easily associated with “feel” and not technique. I’ll tell you all one more time; he worked at his craft relentlessly. He was just starting, and any player tells you Jimi’s not in his ear is lying, or should put the guitar down.
I still think you’re getting feeling confused with skill. There is a difference between composition and technique. Bob Dylan can write better songs than Malmsteen but do you want to see them duel? If there are things you cannot do on guitar..than how are you the best? Sure I can strum A C G and shed a ballad tear but that doesnt help sweep arpeggios.
2) there ton’s of jazzbo’s who spend tons of time practicing and their music is boring because it lacks insight and feeling. There’s also some very good jazzbos who practice a ton. Practice should center on learning to create feelings with an instrument, with emphasis on technique subordinated to the feelings one desires to produce. The actual technical difficult of a piece doesn’t matter. Some guitarists are too concerned with showing people how much they’ve practiced
Pure genius….he seemed totally at one with the guitar, like it was an extension of his body. The most naturally gifted guitarist that ever walked the earth, in my opinion.
you cant think of a criteria? how about being able to play a song! thats not fair to say for ppl who work hard their whole life learning jazz and classical pieces , while bitter assholes like you strum hey joe with allll there FEELING. and thats a great song ! im just proving a point.
i can’ think of a criteria for technical proficiency.. except for maybe how many notes a player can jam into a single second. And that is pretty insignificant. The skill of music is the emotions that are created, not how many miles per hour some jerk can play his instrument. You sir, have been Pwned! I’m sorry I had to Pwn you, but I feel that it is necessary.

everytime i watch a hendrix tune there’s a discussion going on about wether some random guitarist is better than him.
