Hendrix.  Hands down.  I don't care if you like his music or hate his music.  The man revolutionised the art of guitar playing, pushed the limits, and influenced just about everyone since.

Claption, while being influential and pretty inventive, is waaaay overrated and nowhere near Hendrix in guitar playing, song writing, showmanship, originality...etc..

Hendrix by a nose.

But I have to disagree with (more like question) one thing that Miz said......Song Writing?? You really think Hendrix is a better song writer than Eric Clapton. Although I will say that Hendrix has a great song library for such a short time frame so it is impossible to say what he could have written if given the time that Clapton has had

Technically yeah, but nowhere near as creative in his use of the instrument.
Different league.

Van Halen.  Yeah, I know Clapton is like Eddie's biggest influence, but, Eddie himself, influenced so many more people.  Plus, I like Van Halen way more than Clapton, it's just more interesting music, and happier.

To AdZ or any other mod reading this: Any chance of moving this to Bad Obsession, since it's more about music than actually playing instruments if you know what I mean.

You only highlighted technique.  But, Eddie's tone is about three hundred million times sweeter than Claptons.  Eddie is up there with Slash, May and SRV.  Clapton doesn't come close.

All eddie plays is fast shit, i even if u don't belive it like eddie better than clapton but clapton can make about 50 licks from 4-5 notes....eddie is overrated and has nowhere near clapton's feeling

Rolling Stone?!?!?!?! You read that list right?  Are you insane?

And even if he was rated higher than EVH on every single list ever, it wouldn't make a bit of difference to me because I will always think Clapton is overrated, and Eddie is lightyears ahead of him.
