AirgunGuy 362 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 And couldn't read music. Whether he was/is the best or not is debatable but he certainly changed the face of music at the time with his style. Love his stuff...just a shame as with so many others that we didn't get more from him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 3,048 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yes he was. Not just playing ability but he broke many of the boundaries. One of my favourite tracks is an old blues number called hear my train comin, there is an acoustic version on you tube which is just brilliant 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stealthy1 3,964 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Carlos Santana to me is the best all round guitarist ever, he can do it all, Hendrix was different at the time, but just not as accomplished Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chid 6,583 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Imo there's better alround guitarists .... Clapton , McCartney being 2 real good ones , but there's no doubting the man was gifted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clapton , McCartney being 2 real good ones , but there's no doubting the man was giftedI wouldn't rate McCartney at a guitarist a great musician yes,he wasn't even the best in his band Harrison was good though but still Clapton done alot of Beatles studio work so he still wins haha Edited September 10, 2013 by Westy76 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
