I heard he was a big fan of Terry Kath and Billy Gibbons. However, I swear there used to be a clip here on you tube that was removed or edited where Dick Cavett asked him how it felt to be the greatest guitarist in the world and he answered, "you need to ask Rory Gallagher". Then he said something like, how about the best guitarist sitting in this chair?

Nice to see Rory Gallagher (aka: "the greatest guitarist you've never heard of") made Hendrix's list. Rory's band Taste was very active during the last two years or so of Jimi's life, and I believe they at least once (Isle Of Wight festival 1968?) ended up on the same bill. There were similarities of style between both of these icons, and the progression of rock and blues moving forward was all the richer for their legacy and the individual stamps they placed on the genre.

@Sota-son 18 күн бұрын

Most accounts indicate that Hendrix was aware that Rory had upstaged him (not intentionally) at the massive Isle of Wight and was very gracious about it. Nice to see Rory get his due on this list and nice to have a film clip that shows that Hendrix didn't invent all the great guitar fireworks tricks himself.

Not a surprise that most of them are old bluesmen. Rory Gallagher is an interesting one, whom you might not have expected Hendrix to notice.
