To me, it is definitely Hendrix. If you listen to his live stuff, his improvisation (see: Woodstock Improvisation on YouTube) you could really tell. It is still a tough debate, with Page, Clapton, and all those other guitar gods.

Hendrix is probably the most far out and spectacular ELECTRIC guitarist, even still so 37+ years after his death. To me, the best guitarist must also be an awesome acoustic and slide guitarist. Again......... Duane Allman and Rory Gallagher are the only 2 that I know that fit the bill. And again..... Rory Gallagher sang, wrote and produced his material and was a fantastic harmonica , mandolin , sitar and saxophone player. Can anyone tell me of another guitarist of this caliber who could do this ???? There isn't any !!!!!!

Here's a name I've never heard mentioned here before.

Steve Morse. Without a doubt one of the greats of our time.
