Ugledni glazbeni časopis Rolling Stone napravio je svoj izbor 100 Najboljih gitarista svih vremena. Kao što smo već pisali za najboljeg gitaristu izabran je nenadmašni Jimi Hendrix. Među sto najvećih gitarista gotovo svi su iz Amerike i Velike Britanije, odnosno engleskog govornog područja. Na listi, na žalost, nema Vlatka Stefansvskog koji prema svojem gitarističkom umijeću to sigurno zaslužuje.
Gitarist grupe The Who, Pete Townshend koji je u magazinu pisao članak i svoje sjecanje o Hendrixu kaže: “Žao mi je ljudi koji o Jimi Hendrixu moraju suditi samo na osnovu njegovih ploča i filma, zato što je u stvarnosti bio tako neuobičajen. Imao je mogućnost transformacije, kada se popo na stage u potpunosti se promjenio. Postao je sjajan i divan. I to ne samo zato štu su ljudi uzimali LSD. Imao je moć da vas jednostavno obuzme i povede na ludo putovanje. Bio je jači od LSD-a. Svirao je jebeno glasno, ali opet s nevjerovatnim riječima i osjećajem. Uspio je izgraditi most između istinskog blues gitarista i modernog zvuka. Stvorio je ‘vrišteći’ zvuk gitare koji su kasnije popularizirali U2.
S Jimijem nisam nikad imao nikakav jal. Nikad nisam imao osjećaj da ću mu se moći približiti. Treći ili četvrti put kad sam ga vidio bio je predgrupa The Who. Bilo je to prvi put kada sam ga vidio da je zapalio gitaru. Učinoi je električnu gitaru predivnom. Uvijek je bio malo opasan, uvijek je bio u stanju izazvati bjes. ”
