People will go on and on and debate about who the best guitarist is. My favorite is Jimmy Hendrix. To me his style is the epitome of what Rock guitar should be like. Not only was his aggressive, blues, induced rock awesome, but he was a great songwriter as well. He wasn’t all about the speed, but rather about the soul of the sound. My favorite piece of guitar writing ever is the intro to “Little Wing”. In addition to the guitar playing itself is his flare; it wouldn’t be rock n’ roll without his creative stage presence. Playing the guitar behind his head, lighting his guitar on fire, to doing a tripped out rendition of the star spangled banner (musical metaphor for war) were all just pieces of amo to his music.

Here’s a famous clip of him at Woodstock:

Went to check out the Giant Robot show - it was a HUGE turnout. Great food, great artwork, and great crowd.
