Hard? There's no comparison. Hendrix!!!

Here's a hard comparison.

Jimi Hendrix vs Eric Clapton (pre Lite96 days).

[HURST442]

Steve Vai or Jimmy Page

Very close to the Jimi vs Van Halen comparison. Steve Vai, like EVH, very technical "perfect" guitarists, but lacks feeling. Hendrix and Page, has much more human feel to it.

So for me, I pick Page.

slash

[Neil4Speed]

Joe Walsh (Eagles) or Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac)

I would be surprised if anyone responds lol, a little too oldschool?

[Ferio_vti]

Fred Penner or Mr. Dressup??

[statick]

hendrix was awsome...hard to decide between him and clapton though.

BB King or Rod Stewart


i'd say BB king

[TKRIS]

Here's a better Jimi comparison:

Jimi Hendrix or Randy Rhodes?

(admitadly a little difficult to judge seeing as there is so little material upon which to judge Randy Rhodes.)

And while we're on the topic of Ozzy guitarists...

Slash or Zakk Wyld?

[three.eighteen.]

zakk wyld is better than slash technically, but slash seems to have a lot more soul to his licks, even though quite often the songs are similar (you can play falling down over sweet child of mine)

[ricosuave]

how about richards vs townshend?

[sputnik]

Al Di Meola vs Paco De Lucia

[three.eighteen.]

Yes, except Slash's current Velvet Revolver gig, he's lost that soul edge that he had with GnR.

And yes, he does "reuse" some stuff. The beginning of sweet child o' mine is used in paradise city as well (the so far away part). Not very often, but it happens.

Where's Al Di Meola from...if he's even close to Paco, I might have to pick some of his CD's up.
