santana!

Personal opinion, Santana. He's amazingly talented. Not down talking the other two, though, both are also very talented.
-
I don't know who is best, but I like Hendrix most, then Santana, then Clapton.
-
gotta say hendrix. when it coes to raw tallent, clapton or santana, but some of the things that jimi did without any help by sound distortors are dreampt about by guitarists
-
santana by far
-
Hendrix is the only guy who ever scared me with a guitar, so that's my vote.
-
Sorry, but I have to go with Mark Knoploff(sp?) from Dire Straits
-
Clapton
-
Hendrix was the most influential guitarist of all time. His technics and ability to take up space with his instrument are unequaled. Clapton is the god of british blues rock. Which is impressive enough in itself. Santana is brilliant, but not as innovative as the other two. Hendrix in a landslide, listen to electric ladyland. Even better listen to it stoned.
-
That's a tough one. Technically- Clapton Creatively- Jimi
-
Jesus.
-
The most demanded guitarist, and best, is James Burton. But let's don't leave out Chuck Berry. :-)
-
This is Rolling Stone's list. 1. Jimi Hendrix 2. Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers Band 3. B.B. King 4. Eric Clapton 5. Robert Johnson 6. Chuck Berry 7. Stevie Ray Vaughan 8. Ry Cooder 9. Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin 10. Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=22538 Can't be a good list if Santana or Mark Knopfler isn't on it.
-
An opinion question. Sometimes one...and sometimes another. Overall, I would pick Hendrix. That is my opinion.
-
All of them, but they also had a big influence on this super fretter...Steve Morse.
-
This is an awesome question - All very good at there genre of music. Wow, impossible to decide. What a event to had the opportunity to see them all on stage together. (Can you say legendary?)
-
Sorry neither....... I think 'Johnny Marr' is :D x
-
Their styles are somewhat different so it is really hard to say. Based on your choices, Clapton has the most technical skill and I prefer his songs over the other two.
-
Eric Clapton loves Ohio
-
clapton
-
that is a hard question to answer they all excede eachother in some aspect, so i cant rele say who is better
-
Hendrix for sure :)
-
Hendrix
-
None of the above my vote goes to Marc knoppfler
-
This is a question??? Hendrix.
-
Hendrix, Santana close second, then Clapton. They are all the best at what they do.
-
Hendrix!
-
hendrix without a doubt he was the best. Maybe the most messed up but still the best

I wouldn't really say Santana belongs in the ranks of Clapton and Hendrix. I'd say Clapton was a more proficient guitarist, but Hendrix was more interesting and creative.
-
I'll go with Santana
-
I'd rather hear some Mark Knopfler
-
Hendrix
-
santana i s great
-
Carlos Santana!
-
All three are great. If I had to choose between them, I really couldn't tell ya. Now if I was to start a band, I think id pick Clapton, due to him being more to my style of music. He's a very clean playing guitarist. -Brad
-
Clapton, hands down
-
Definately Hendrix!!!!!!! He's the best, hands down. He's the best and no exceptions!!
-
I'll go with Santana, but still, none can top James Burton. :-)!!
-
Santanaaa!
-
I think you missed Chet Atkins. And just listen to Brad Paisley, he's great.
-
hendrix. if only he was around today. Legend
-
Dude you are so far off. Stevie Ray Vaughan had incredible speed, accuracy, and an instinct that will never be copied.
-
Hendrix. Santana and Clapton are master stylists, and have written some good tunes. In just a few albums back in the 60's, Jimi's immortal songs, supernaturally effortless guitar, and lush freaky soundscapes outshone those two cats' ENTIRE CAREERS, and that is saying something. Ask either one of them, and they'd tell you the same....
-
Clapton has a better way of intertwining the words of a song within His guitar playing, and He is more polished than Hendrix. Hendrix was raw, and wild, and fast, His playing was very chaotic in nature, but nevertheless, He was unique, and did things that no ones else would try at the time. Santana is polished, and tight in His playing, just like Clapton is. I don't consider any of them to be "better" than the other, just different in their approach to music. AS far as actual songs go, as a whole, I'd go with Clapton.
-
Santana
-
Carlos is the man.
-
Hendrix...if I have to make Sophie's choice.
-
Clapton is God!!, Hendrix was a great guiarist but couldn't play live for shit, Santana is great also but most of his music sound much the same
-
Hendrix by far...he had the effects of god at his hands when he played that strat o.o
-
How can you choose Hendrix made his guitar sing so he has to have my vote but there have been so many great guitarists
-
hendrix always wins
-
That's like askin' which brother you love more!! ;-)
-
Hendrix is my favorite. I enjoy listening to his stuff over and over again. It never gets old.
-
Wow tough pick. Either Santana or Clapton- I love both and Hendrix couldn't compete with either.
