The reason I say Gossard was better than both is because his playing actually makes my hair stand up.Especially the solo in ''Alive''. Thats just my opinion since Hendrix could never do that. I think Hendrix is overrated to an extent.I dont think he was that well-rounded.There are a ton of gutarist out there that are technically sharper,not faster or anything (speed doesnt equal great as you stated and your completey right)but they command the guitar better,and have a broader harmonic understanding, sense of playability,and adapting many different styles.(Hendrix only adapted a few,but in another argument is still more than most) Look around at how many young students can play ''Voodoo Child'' ''All Along the Watchtower'' ''Hey Joe'' probably his entire discography...You think that same student could turn around and learn John Petrucci's technical/progressive guitar work in Dream Theater's Metropolis - Part I? Now was he an innovator?..Absolutely!..I take nothing away from him and I will say he deserves that respect...Incorporating Jazz/Blues/Rock together and not to mention a great song writer. I just think compared to today standards Hendrix doesnt take first..He cast a big shadow that alot of people have a hard time getting out of.He did great things in his day,and he did revolutionize/innovate the guitar. But so did. Pete Townshend Les Paul Robert Fripp Keith Richards Chuck Berry Zappa Tom Morello John Petrucci Just to name a few...All Innovators and staples in there own way ,and that is why the greatest guitarist could never be crowned...Because when it comes to skill,Hendrix was adequate.What he did was put his soul into the music...and that is what makes him great.

That was a reasonable post. I can't argue with the feeling you get when you hear Pearl Jam, and agree that Gossard and McCready dont ever get the credit they deserves in the "greatest guitarist" debates.
But I will point out that ironically, Pearl Jam were very much influenced by Hendrix. Compare Yellow Ledbetter to Little Wing. From the wiki article on Yellow Ledbetter Quote:
One last thing; Very often when listening to a juicy track, say Alive or Fade to Black or Soma or even Jumping Jack Flash, I will be thinking to myself as the track is going "man this guy ___ is the greatest ever" That, Sir, is rock music.

Actually, one more thing.
I think Pearl Jam, had they been around during the classic era of great rock bands (1967-1979ish), they would be considered among the very best. They definitly belong with the Stones, Who, Beatles, Hendrix, Cream and Led Zeppelin. I remember watching the end of VH1 Rock Honors The Who, and after PJ played "Love Reign on Me" and "The Real Me", Townshend and Daltry came out and you could tell in their remarks when they thanked Pearl Jam that they felt they could never outdo what Vedder and the boys just had done.

And your right,its never about the diffculty..Some of the most powerful songs to me have the simplest riffs...But when people are shoving Jimi Hendrix down my throat as the ''greatest guitar player ever'' ....I just simply disagree...I think Don Ross deserves a spot in the top 20(at least),but Rolling Stones wouldnt ever look his way becuase he only plays acoustic,and only plays purely instrumental.(is that fair?)No band,just him,and he can play harmony,rhythm,and melodies all at once...He actually just came out with an album with one of my all time favorite bassist, Michael Manring (sorry Im a little excited bout that,lol) I guess my biggest grip (in a nut shell) is people constantly trying to name the greatest guitarist,which to me,will never be possible...I have absolutely nothing against Hendrix,I just think there are alot of guys above or on his level...but in different ways. The funny thing ,to me, is that most ''session players'' are probably the most advanced musicians on the planet,both in writing and playing....They make a great living,but we will never even know thier names. Thats what love about music is how we all hear it differently...Sometimes you catch the emotion/message in a song,roll up the windows and sing your heart out....other times you change the station....Like Godsmack's ''whiskey hangover''...that song is just awful,lol

Actually, I just listened to Roxette. Anyone remember them? Late 80s/early 90s pop-rock. Wrote some good songs though. Makes me thing of heading to wheeler in my dads pickup when I was young.
