Re: Is there even a close second to Jimi Hendrix?
[ QUOTE ]
In all these types of threads, in this same discussion time after time...I'm always really disappointed by the lack of love that Duane Allman receives... Rolling Stone recently did a top 100 of all time. Allman was #2 (after Jimi). Personally, I like Allman even better, but there's no denying Jimi's talent. The fact that he's not even been mentioned in this thread though is really unfortunate. [/ QUOTE ] I agree with a lot of what you are saying. Since you are an Allman fan, have you seen or heard Derek Trucks? He's absolutely incredible and in my opinion is a legitimate candidate for any top 5 greatest guitarist list of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FlOJXL4j6k

I think he's way underrated/overlooked in these threads as well. He did lots of great session work. Check out the Wilson Pickett version of 'Hey Jude' with Duane on guitar, it's awesome. FWIW I agree with Rolling Stone with him in the #2 spot.

Re: Is there even a close second to Jimi Hendrix?
i think there are 2 catogries guitarist are put into. Talent & writting ability.
I think Page played better and wrote based on his ability. Hendrix was a better writer/preformer personally i like page better. There was this old man i was in the military with, he had seen both. Saw Led Zep many (atleast 4) times, and saw them before they got really big. When i asked him what the worst concert was he ever went to he said it was Led Zep. And i think if you play the guitar for a year and you start to play hendrix songs, you will appericate page more and realize hes the better one...atleast i did. However seeing the vidoes of hendrix preform it defintly would have been a better show my 2 cents

Re: Is there even a close second to Jimi Hendrix?
[ QUOTE ]
asofel, I'm not familiar with Duane, but isn't he like far and away the best slide guy of all time, but lesser at "regular" guitar. Not arguing, just going off a very minimal knowledge. [/ QUOTE ] No. He was a great 'regular' guitarist as well. He was a session guitarist at Muscle Shoals, if that doesn't say enough then....

I've seen him a few times, most recently backing up Clapton. Guy is a prodigy without a doubt. Wasn't he playing onstage with The Allman's when he was like 11 or something? He'll start making it onto all-time great lists for sure.
