Reply to comment by Mrofcourse in A rant about Maggot Brain... by wtanz

I agree. Eddie Hazel is not the best guitarist of all time. But, I think it would be hard for any musician to make a song as good as Maggot Brain. It's like asking an artist to recreate the Mona Lisa.

Yeah I forgot who said it but there was a guitarist who said he could play every Hendrix song and solo note for note identically but he still can’t imagine how he came up with it.

Hazel is for sure top five but hendrix said billy gibbons was the man. I love the solo for joe blues and just got paid. Not nearly as long as maggot brain but I love the way he plays. Bonnamassa blues deluxe is a good one too. All great stuff. Like asking who has the best anything.
