    i'm trying to think of a modern guitarist who could handle taking on something as massive as voodoo chile from electric ladyland. i don't mean slight return. i think we've all heard that one covered with some success. i'm talking about the blues jam which is in my opinion maybe the most psychedelic piece of music i've experienced. i'll link what's available on youtube so you can listen to it if you so desire:p

    me neither lol. i was really impressed with the lead guitarist from umphrey's mcgee. i saw him do shine on you crazy diamond this past summer at all good and i was really blown away. can't really compare david gilmour to jimi hendrix though.

    no one, period. hendrix was, is, and will always be a complete original.

    SRV would have been the best candidate

    agreed

    but, if i had to choose i would say...

    either Kenny Wayne Sheppard or Frusciante or maybe someone like Joe Bonamassa

    or there is always buckethead, he can play anything

    Not saying that he could pull it off, but if I had to choose I'd go with Frusciante.

    John Mayer is dirty at guitar, I think he could.

    Dimebag FTW!
    Prince is next in line if Dimebag can't do it.
    :D


    I think it'd be hiliarious to see either one play it.

    yep john mayer could pull it off.
    Warren Haynes is pretty awesome too.

    Actually-- youtube search "John Mayer Hendrix" if you get a chance, he has done a ton of Hendrix
