Ranked: Best Guitarists of All-Time

Jimi Hendrix

The best guitarist ever. Hands down.

Jimi Hendrix is undoubtedly considered the best guitarist of all time. He manipulates the guitar effortlessly while simultaneously changing our expectations of rock. Through his playing, you could almost hear the turbulent 60s and LSD trips being imparted on the songs.

Songs like “Voodoo Chile” and “Machine Gun” showcase Hendrix’s sheer talent and artistic vision. Hendrix even incorporates the passion and fervor of the 60s in his rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner,” which is almost reminiscent of bombs dropping over Vietnam.
