I once owned the “Speak of the Devil” Album. All old Sabbath tunes. Gillis did a good job there.
Dave Meniketti was pretty decent though maybe not great. He was however the first guy I ever saw do the one on one off pickup switch trick which the players here will recognize in the leads.
Loved the intro and the leads, the song itself…meh…
Per the other thread, Dick Dale, the lefty Jimmy Hendrix looked up to:

rolling stones list… what a joke…
like someone said reading comments on this list. the classical guys could mop the floor with these rock/blues gods, and an average jazz guitarist could do the same…
so i styarted looking at videosof these two types of guitar players , and i totally agree. faster, cleaner… all sorts of music, not the standard few cords most of these rock/blues guys play.
love claptons music, peter greens music, duane allmans, albert kings, and they are great players, but compared to these other two styles, the classical and jazz, these favorite of mine are average at best…put your favorites aside and vote on the pure best guitar players, and my favorites ate 60th spot…at best
these classical guitar gods can do the jimi crap and play behing their head too, and it’ll sound 100 times better… these guys are just on a different level.i’ll still but an old albert collins or peter green cd, not the jazz or classical stuff, not my style of music, but they just blow eric and duane and jimi and srv away big time…

A mildly precocious proboscis monkey could be trained to play better than Keith Richards. By accident. For instance. I’m sorry folks, I can’t see Angus Young on any top 500 or maybe even 1000 list of anything. Joan Jett??? Really???
However, Hendrix, while technically not that spectacular by today’s standards was an amazing innovator. The writing and arrangement on that “Cry of Love” album was ahead of it’s time for sure. Listen all the way through for full appreciation.
For some reason I just never pictured Jewbacca as a Dick Dale fan LOL! Nuthin wrong with that, just a bit of a blind side.

I fully agree but the title of the thread is best ROCK guitarist ever. Still impossible to quantify though.

For what it’s worth, Cry of Love was release posthumously. Hendrix recorded everything, all the time. I too like the songwriting, but always wonder if Hendrix intended to release the songs himself. Maybe they weren’t good enough? Of course, at that point he also had no say in the mix and production.
This child is a faaaaar better player(rock included), like by a million miles, than at least half the folks on that list. Record sales have literally nothing necessarily to do with musicianship.

He’s an excellent technician, but my question is: is he creative? He has good feel but can he write? Just wondering…
Good find.

I grew up in Gush Katif — best beaches and surfing in the Med.
I surfed every day, except Shabbos.
If the arabs would stop being assholes, they could completely dominate the European tourist trade – perfect weather, decent waves, good airports, located between Eqypt and Jerusalem tourist destinations – day trips to mountain wine country up north. Basically, California with history.
