Rolling Stone Names Jimi Hendrix The Greatest Guitar Player Of All Time

Music magazine Rolling Stone is perhaps best known these days not for its interviews, covers or even its album reviews, but rather for its famous lists. Now, the outlet has released its ranking of the greatest guitar players of all time, and the musician who landed at No. 1 certainly deserves the top spot.

Jimi Hendrix has been named the No. 1 greatest guitar player of all time, according to Rolling Stone. The magazine states that “He was a showman who played with his teeth or behind his back,” adding that “underneath all the theatrics is the true master of the instrument.”
