best, no

awesome, yes

there is no best, it's music, beyond talent it's all relative.

As for porkmarras' "pfft," I regard it with amusement because he shows that he doesn't know anything about Fahey. To disregard the obvious fact that Fahey played in open tunings just shows that he's unwilling to even acknowledge the most basic of facts. And again, although I do like Fahey (I think he's creative and I love his sound), the artists on the earlier recordings that inspired him would have probably not thought much of his playing.


edit: I can't be arsed.

there are too many to pick a best but he is one of the best, ever. i couldn't tell you, i haven't heard every guitar player in the world like some of you apparently have.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I really don't think there is such a thing as "Best". So if Hendrix really is the "best" guitarist ever, that means he's better than every single person who plays guitar in the entire world? How do we even assume one is the absolute best at something? Hendrix is good, definitely one of the better guitarists through history, but I don't think he's the greatest ever.

I respect what he did for music and had a cool style, but best? No sir.

I'd say I'm damn good.

I'd also say I'm terrible.

Lenny Breau is definitely the best, as in the actual definition of the word "best", as in the most talented in the world.
