I have a 11 year old friend who can blow him away.. nuff saidI'd like to hear him play the way Jimi did. It's unbelievable the advances Jimi made in his few years, and the influence he cast on everyone else.Jimi excelled creatively, technically, and musically. No 11 year old could get that far. I doubt any 11 year old could get that far.@Fruitpunch:> [Hoffman Brothers](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWPjil4t2Zg)> > [Amott Brothers](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCtGKqRaYw8)Hmm havent heard of either of those bands.

Anna Comnena Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I think Hendrix is a little overrated. I'd also move Pete Townshend up a bit. I'd probably put Dave Murray and Adrian Smith at number 1, but I'm biased about Iron Maiden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably put Dave Murray and Adrian Smith at number 1, but I'm biased about Iron Maiden.I agree that he is over-rated nowadays. But at that time no one had seen anything like him, and he was really young. Imagine if he was still alive and well, what he could have turned out to be?

Most of Dragonforce's stuff is down with keyboards, hate to break it you mate. And even so Malmsteen's stuff was way harder to play than any dragonforce song.
