Eddie's always been the best. ;-)

Have you heard his song Eruption? It's great!

It depends whether you judge it by personal opinion or sheer musical ability. Without Hendrix who knows if we'd have the Eddie Van Halens. Both are good players in my opinion, except one is a revolutionary, Hendrix. I love Eddie's playing, but Steve Hackett (Genesis) was doing finger tapping much earlier than Eddie Van Halen, that's not to say Eddie is not an important player though.

I don't know if you can really compare, it's a matter of taste. Jimi was more of a "Vibe" player. Eddie, while certainly a "Vibe" player as well, was a bit more diciplined and focused in his early years. He had some pretty serious technique. I don't think Hendrix had amang technique, but he had soul dripping out of him all over. Both great, innovative guitarists. Jimi had the smarts to die young. He is nothing but an icon. Ed has not aged well, not at all.

Wow, both good artists, different times, different techniques, and both made huge contributions to the rock genre. I'm inclined to say Jimmeeee!!!! of course, but I also like to give credit where credit's due, although Eddie has a reputation for being one of the biggest jerks in the business.
