Gotta' say - in some ways Hendrix was greater for sure, well ... in lots of ways, well don't want to start out with a subjective war of talent but suffice to say, the strat and it's early proponents are very very... errrr... memorable as well as some 60's LP players (should I be a politician or what??? )louis cyfer wrote:zandurian wrote:When I was 12 (1969) I bought an old used strat from the classified ads for $100.00.

Well, I didn't listen to Blackmore till '72 or so - after my strat was long gone. I did play machine head until the needle practically wore through the vinyl though. Much more of a dynamic live player than Page yet I love much of what Page did in the studio. Great production sense. Still, Hendrix is above them all in my view - probably because He was the first to blow up my mind.louis cyfer wrote:i didn't mean me, i meant the superior players of that period, like blackmore.
