I don't believe any of you really play guitar and appreciate the instrument.
All the guitarists named all use massive Fx's, especially none other than the Virtuoso Mr Hendrix.
You probably have never heard the Hendrix stuff which made him popular.His earlier stuff was very blusey and somewhat even jazz, with very few effects.A bit of reverb and that was all.

My favourite guitarist was made know to me because of the period I grew up in.It's the lead man of Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler. The few people who know him do because
of songs like "money for nothin'". This was purely a commercialised song.Just like Hendrix with "Foxy Lady".No talent is shown in either song.

Slash on the other hand is a talented guitarist and he'll tell you he doesn't pretend to be anything other than a Glamourised American rock guitarist.(Although he comes from Stoke,England) So my message is..
THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE CHOOSING YOUR IDOL!!
