Not counting sicktight311, were either of these two the best of all time, and if so, which one was better?

I just beat Slash on GH3 (Hard) last night for the first time.  Took me like 11 tries. 

Because I beat him and never beat Hendrix, I'm gonna say Hendrix is better.

Hendrix...not even close. A better argument is SRV vs. Hendrix (For you noobs...SRV=Stevie Ray Vaughn)

are you really going to even try to compare the guitarist from gun n roses to Jimi hendrix?


hendrix is like top 2 best guitarist in rock history...Guns n Roses isnt even in the top 25 of greatest BANDS ever.


a good comparison would be like you know...

Hendrix v Paige

What if Hendrix was high and Slash wasn't.  Then who would win in a hu guitar hero match.

guitar hero is a toss up really i mean hendrix never played video games ever probably, slash has...

but hendrix being high wouldnt make a difference, some of his most legendary performances were when he was tripping face on acid

i agree that hendrix is no question better than slash but your reason was "slash never would have picked up a guitar if it weren't for hendrix"

that has nothing to do with how talented someone is at the guitar

i dont think you are understanding like the amount of influence for hard rock (lots of solos) guitar playing that Jimi Hendrix has...

isnt slash known for playing cool solos?

I thought Hendrix was supposed to suck pretty bad when he got really high.

Slash is an incredible guitarist and can play such a wide-ranging type of music from shredding to a more controlled style.

BUT

jimi is jimi. he revolutionized guitar unlike anyone before him or after.  stevie ray vaughan may have been more skilled technique-wise, but hendrix's creativity blasts SRV out of the water.

listen to one of the greatest displays of guitar skill (i can show you guys a few other lesser-known AMAZING hendrix songs if you want):
