Hendrix was a junkie who wasted more talent than he ever showed.

Ottmar Liebert? Willie Nelson? David Hidalgo and/or Cesar Rosas from Los Lobos?

Jack White and Kurt Cobain, my ass.

I can play rings around those turds that they call "great guitar" and I haven't played an electric in years.

John Jorgenson? Al DiMeola?

I don't even necessarily care for his music, but Vince Gill can play the hell out of the guitar. Ditto for Marty Stuart.

Ray Benson is a better guitarist asleep (pun intended) than many of these jokes awake and woodshedding for a year.

Whatever... Gibson didn't "release" or "reveal" a damned thing... they polled a bunch of people who listed the guys they like. Greatest guitarists, my auntie's hat.
