    There were so many great British guitarists at that time and Clapton, Beck, Marriot, Ronson, Wood and others were producing better sounds and material then what the Americans, including Hendrix, were doing.

    I've seen some feeble attempts at trolls, but it's hard to see that being beaten this year.

    When Beck is literally covering Little Wing just a few posts before...

    They were all of an era when new ground was being broken and it was sufficiently new to be able to come up with original stuff - not so easy nowadays.

    There are still some insanely gifted musicians. But today's generation values celebrity over substance.

    Yeah, Ron Wood beats Jimi Hendrix.

    Sure thing.

    Just like our food and sports, everybody knows that British music is the best in the world.

    Exactly. It doesn't get any more British than that, does it?

    A great guitarist, no question. But what did he create, compared to say-

    Hendrix
    Page
    Tony Iommi
    Peter Townsend
    Ritchie Blackmore
    Mark Knopfler
    Even the Davies 'Kinks' brothers

    Hi Ho silver lining, that Bolero thing, some virtuoso stuff and great cover versions (eg Little Wing). Some say he didn't manage his career well, others think he was a bit lazy- he did fine as an in demand session musician, much like Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones did. But that was all he was seemingly content to do.

    Kinda the UK version of Stevie Ray Vaughan (he did a great cover of Little Wing too). But Hendrix created it. Neither will be remembered up there with Hendrix et al, they just don't have the iconic hits, or sound, or sales. Beck could play anything well- his talent is unquestioned.

    RIP.
