      I totally agree with you... because (I may get hate here) I don't think Hendrix was the "best" guitarist ever....
      I do believe he was one of the most influential guitarists ever. He was doing things with a guitar that no one at the time was doing, and slot of the techniques he helped pioneer are still deeply rooted in rock today.
      Another example is Clapton. While I agree, he was, and continues to be influential to the industry, I dont thing he is in the top 10 best rock guitarists in the world... let the hate flow through you...

He isn't even top 10 material within metal ( unless the only heavy music you listen to is Metallica ), very good lead guitarist at his peak, but tons of players like him and he didn't really 'innovate' or 'create' anything ground-breaking to help his case. The fact that he happens to be in the biggest metal band in the world doesn't necessitate a spot, it just means he made good use of what he has.

    The Jeff Beck one made me laugh. Nobody knows much about his stuff but since people think they're "supposed" to rank him somewhere in the Top 10 they search for some live show and play a 5 second clip of him playing some stupid weird noises and then move quickly on
