Re: Is there even a close second to Jimi Hendrix?
I don't think Hendrix can be touched in terms of pure jamming or going nuts by himself. This is his strong point and it often seems like many of his song exist only to get to the solo. Someone like Jimmy Page is certainly a lot more versatile and probably a better songwriter overall. Jimi's my favorite guitarist, but he's an awful singer and I often wish he had just played in a band. Jimi is the only guitarist where I feel like God himself is playing during the solos (particularly live).
Also, to the guy whose friend saw Zeppelin 4 times and said they sucked, wtf? All of the early live stuff I've heard has been amazing and often much better than the recorded versions, imo. Check out the DVD box set that came out a few years ago and see if disc one changes your mind.

Re: Is there even a close second to Jimi Hendrix?
This is not up for discussion. Hendrix may be the better performer. But at a talent standpoint. Page is the best guitar player ever. Just watch the Led Zep DVD { the one with the desert on the cover}
