   okey both are good but Gilmoure give me goosbumps more often then Hendrix but the riffs and the rumbling groove to hendrix songs ar  Uniqe, 
what about Hendrix >Terry Kath (of Chicago fame) he is often regarded (and sadly overlooked) guitarplayr who was self tought guitar player, but was capable to keep up the paiste of his fellowe (schooled) band mates (Pankow, Lee Loughnane and Parazaider, Lamm and Seraphine I dont know if Cetera is schooled musican)-

but Terry Kath is probably one of the gratest rock guitarists in the 70s who both could play verry cool riffs but also great  solos and even some jazz chords.

	Ok I think I said it again and it absolutely doesn't add anything to the thread but I have to say it again, Gilmour >>>>>>>>>>>> Hendrix... outside of some great new techniques or whatever Hendrix created, I think he suffers from overratitis....

	I agree with aginor, Terry Kath should be considered one of the greats. His life was short also like Hendrix, but many dont give bis credit though. And I will go with Gilmour...

	I very much liked Hendrix when I started listening to 70's rock and I still like him(I would like to see what he could have done with Miles Davis) but I must admit David Gilmour moves me much more.2 great musicians anyway.
	I was born in the land of Mahavishnu,not so far from Kobaia.I'm looking for the world of searchers with the help from crimson king

	IMHO, Gilmour conveys more with his playing and contributed to more erudite acts, Hendrix's music was a product of its time, about women, drugs and the like. It was very psychedelic, badly recorded, with bad vocals. Some material makes an impression, Machine Gun, Burning of the Midnight Lamp, Little Wing, etc. More crude and saying a lot less are the clever and popular Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, Fire, etc. but his best known songs remain Hey Joe and All Along the Watchtower, not written by him. It would have been interesting to see how he might have fared with the similarly over-the-top Emerson Lake Palmer, but ELP isn't anything next to Pink Floyd either. IMO, ELP didn't really make a mark in the world until "Black Moon" and its beginnings of a political stance... beginnings. Gilmour was in an ambititous experimental band and then a towering political-philosophical band in the Pink Floyd, well recorded, tightly performed songs. Gilmour was the guitar of a great band, Hendrix wasn't.

	I love both of them. I'm a major fan of Psychedelic music so they're both pretty much a given. I believe that I like Gilmour more all-around because I can listen to his whole output and be impressed whereas with Jimi, I can't stand his more Bluesy output. I would of loved to see Jimi work with Miles though. I can't imagine what albums like Pangaea would be like if Hendrix and Cosey were on them. That would make me self-destruct.

	Ridiculous comparison. Can you even imagine either playing anything over the others music? No, it'd be absurd. I prefer Hendrix, but seeing as neither is mind-blowing in technical ability I wouldn't even know how to measure them against each other. I prefer Hendrix because I feel that he plays with more feel and soul, but also I would much rather listen to jam music than most of Floyd (I love floyd, I just prefer The Experience jamming). Now if you said Hendrix Experience jamming vs Barrett era Floyd jamming...that'd be a tough one to answer
