[quote="Sgt Stryker":93ce6]I voted Jimi Hendrix but would just as well have picked Stevie Ray Vaughn, but I cannot vote twice cry:[/quote:93ce6]
Actually I voted SRV, but could have gone hendrix.
Cobain had a knack for popular music and I like his stuff, but he wasnt exactly a guitar great, was he? He even made comments that at times he needed an extra guitarist because he had a hard time playing and singing at the same time.
No, Kurt was not a great guitar player, but he fit the bill as a player who died a tragic death. He was a damn fine songwriter though, I'll give him that.
John Lee Hooker doesn't count since he died at the ripe old age of 306. John Denver I guess would fit the bill, but just barely. Not exactly known as a guitar god, though...heh heh.
