There's an unlimited amount of good words I can say about Jimi..I loved the fact that he had his own approach on guitar playing.




I don't think anyone will. He's way too influencial to be put down.




Definately agreed.

^ smart

Jimi Hendrix isn't my favorite artist but he is spectacular, and his skill is miles ahead of Dragonforce. Sure they're technical but technicality doesn't equal good music. Ive heard they're live performances, and they cant play their songs to save their lives. also Jimi's songs tell stories, but with Dragonforce, it sound like they took some lines from fantasy novels and threw them together to make a 5 minute song.
FUCKING MAGNETS EVERYWHERE IN THIS BITCH
Jimi Hendrix. The man. The legend.
Guitar virtuoso, most definitely. Any guitarist who doesn't like his works, is not probably on the right path.

He has it: soul, technique, flow. He's pretty much one of my main idols.

Nothing bad to say against him. ;)
i have an opinion too. anyone who does not respect it can rape himself.
and i only listen to the guitar solos in those songs.
Lyrics sawck.
And i usually rate guitarists by speed.
But jimi hendrix is still in the top 10.
He's just not my favorite.
DragonForce's guitar is impossible.
Although, i would have to say they are tied.
Let's leave it at that.

Let's not.
rate guitarists by speed ?

regardless of musical ability?

most dragonforce is synth anyway, and it's rather generic power metal. As for lyrics - comparing poetry to fantasy inspired drivel is pointless.
Slybash, If you learned guitar, than you would understand how wrong you are.
Its not about how fast your fingers are, it's about the sound you can get, and Jimi Hendrix had the best ideas for sounds alright.
Try listening to a music album with only solos, I would feel like I was wasting time.

Dragonforce speed up their guitar playing anyway, there are so many caught by that trap nowadays.

And if it helps you sleep, I will rape myself.
HEy
