Sure they would. Beck, Clapton, Page, Gilmour, May, all would have been around if Hendrix wasn't. And everyone else would have been as well. Plenty of guitar players don't owe a lot to Hendrix.
Dan D Being able to play everything isn’t the be all and end all, none of these can play with feel of Hendrix or write the same songs or sing like him . Although they are amazing at what they do they won’t be as well renowned as Hendrix.
Dan D you need to understand the patterns and evolution of music dude. Hendrix was around during the time where it was all about pushing blues licks to the max, getting the most you can put of the 1-4-5. But he also went beyond that with really creative songs progression and lyric wise. He's personally made me get lost in the crevice of my own mind and imagination when I close my eyes and listen to Hendrix. I never criticize anyone on their opinion but you really pissed me off, bc I feel like you're trying to be a little crap by talking down on Hendrix on a Hendrix song post. Pay respect where it's due man, all those greats you mentioned respected the fuck out of Hendrix. Bc that's just what you do, any musician getting up to play for u instantly deserves respect bc that's not easy man, they're opening themselves up for u in hopes that you'll enjoy it. Anyway, these days the thing is to make any fuckin noise you can on the guitar, the weirder the better. Which is awesome all theee of these guys rock!!! But they wouldn't exist if someone didn't take the first step into playing as fast as they can for a change and focusing far more on technique as opposed to feel. Which honestly has always annoyed me, it's always sounded like they're were trying too hard. Now I feel like it's finally become balanced with melodic approach and awesome other world technique. Players evolve from other players, they don't just pop out of nowhere u turd. Overall just quit being a fuckin bitch and don't fuck with Hendrix on any post friend, I will find u.... and I will reply long as fuck again....
Everything has to be a competition for people. I don't get it. They're all great. Why can't people just appreciate good playing instead of comparing them to each other all the time? Each is excellent at what they do. Chill with the hate and just enjoy some music.
There's nothing wrong with debating as long as people stay civil. Saying this guitar player is the best and everyone else fucking sucks is just dumb and selfish, of course. But there is nothing wrong with claiming your favorite guitar player, with another person claiming theirs, while comparing and contrasting the guitar players flaws and strengths; you might actually learn something and find a new favorite artist if you keep an open mind. I debate with my friends all the time about our favorite guitar album, and we just end up listening to all the records and explore them together. Just because people have a difference of opinions doesn't mean there is hate involved. A healthy amount of competitiveness is what makes our people and our country great; we must push each other to be better.
Jay Miguel It's not hard to understand at all. G3 is always about technical proficiency (and music of course), so comparisons are inevitable. I would argue that discussions of technical proficiency pretty much demand comparisons. I agree though that it is pointless trying to identify who is 'the best' in a holistic sense. FWIW, I think Guthrie is the all-rounder with more tricks up his sleeve than most, but the fact that he is not as well-known for his compositions as Satch and Vai are tells you something. To be fair though, he only has one solo album.
What I noticed was how much Guthrie was enjoying how well Steve and Joe work together. They have this thing so well covered and yet Guthrie's input fitted in perfect.
@@Kweesh that is because he immitates others without establishing his own craft. he can play all music flawlessly but he lacks the power to make his own music that could struck the hearts of other people besides the music circle .
And solos the others in G3 always forget about the songs they are playing and have a wank fest instead actually follow in the feel of the songs and chords. I've never been to a G3 concert becuase of that. Ego stroking for the rest of them.
No disrespect for other G3 incarnations, mind you, but, man, GG brings a whole new level of musicianship. Does anyone know where to find a full concert of this G3 tour? It's a pity that we can only enjoy isolated songs, nice as it is, on the other hand, though
Clapton is alive!!! Gut gives the prolonge to the guitar in 21st ry.. it is like box, you can never hold the title, but, if you really good, the New gen will remember you
When it's about blues, Satriani is definitely the best among them. He creates spaces between notes and let them breed. It doesn't matter how many notes you can play but the amount of emotion you're able to put in each one of them. I respect Vai and was a fan for many years but got kind of tired of his acrobacies. GG is an outstanding musician but an young one yet, and no one can blame him for that :). Joe today is the best to my ears.
my hero steve Vai , 10 years a go , everyday listen to he's music he's guitar is naver die thank's for the video p.s. i like Guthrie Govan but my hero is him ....
Govan might have had the fastest solo but damn satch can lay that real soulful blues solo down better than the other two by far. His not needing to play every note under the sun is what i love about him.
When Jeff Beck covered this my jaw hit the floor. Space between the notes man. The end. Everyones covers this, but they totally miss the essence of the word feel. Thats what made Jimi so special.
Oh noooo a guitarist played more notes in a bar that you can count on both hands, that means they have no feel no this is just wrong. They took this song and made it their own, this isn't about the original feel. Also all three of these players have more feel in their left testicle than we will ever achieve while playing the instrument
Why is everyone here saying Satriani played the best solo? First of all, you can’t really compare guitar solos by their greatness. And secondly, in my Opinion Guthrie‘s solo was even more incredible than Joe‘s. Guthrie‘s feel, phrasing and the freshness of his melodies is just outstanding. There’s not a lot of space to overcome Guthrie...
Gosh I love them all but for this particular song, I think Vai's solo did most for me musically. I feel it fit the vibe of the song most by far. But still... wowzers, Guthrie 👍🏼
Joe always playing with feeling and respectfull of the subject. vai, always the spokesman of guitaristic shred competition in live show.....beh.... guthrie, modern phrasing and approach, always reinventing himself through a standart. outstanding and intense.
Great performance here! Interesting to read the comments about 'who thought who was best' etc. I personally don't think it's possible to judge. Music is great because it appeals to everyone in a totally different way. For instance I thought Vai's vocals were great. I'm sure most people on here are thinking who gives a shit about vocals???..... well i do!! What I will say about the solo's was each player bought their personality in to each solo! Govan with his immense technical ability and thoughtful soloing! Vai with his incredible ability to sustain a note, his crazy knowledge of the force and his tremolo work always blows me away and lastly Satch! This guy is tone!! I love a player who thinks about tone. Watch you play is of course so important but if you've got great tone you can play pentatonic scales as Satch does here and it sounds beautiful! Oh and well done to the rest of the band who have to stand and not get noticed all night!! :D
Technicality levels: 9001 Musical Synergy Levels: Non existent. Guthrie tried to bring the song back to it's musical essence, Vai was focusing more on standing out than fitting in and Satch just wanted everyone to get along.
Fuck!!! Blues really isn't just playing pentatonics, feeling what you're playing is the most important thing, and these daddy's kids who never suffered in life are really far from the blues!!! Saint B.B. King, Saint Albert King and Saint Freddie King, pray for us!!!
I was experiencing a moment of awe, blown away as I was by these masters...and then I saw Joe's forearms. Dude, it's called a razor. You look like the missing link.
I have been away from virtuoso too long. Forgotten how much I love it . Times move on new guitarists come into fashion. To me I love additions rather than comparison which shows our differences so we can have more . Love when they all come together at the end.
Everyone rushed to conclude this guitar performance. Joe & Steve they play G3 characters. If you see and listen to the whole show, G3 Joe & Steve will play it like this. And this is very different from Solo (their songs) they are sold in the market. Instead they are smart, can play 2 characters that are not their original characters at all (the original is on a cassette) Now while Guthrie, the type of ability & lick displayed is exactly the same as the solo (recording tape) sold in the market. Here indeed Guthrie looks aggressive, but Joe & Steve still don't get out of the G3 (Solid) character path. So ... ?? It's up to you to judge what? To be sure, they are all good at playing Guitar.
The Aristocrats feat. Vai/Satriani
irregardless Was thinking the exact thing
Hardly. The opposite it seems to me.
@@asegal4677u know who the bass player and drummer is right
5:44 Guthrie is the master of finding a perfect harmony to any line of music!
guthrie's vocabulary is unparalleled and his understanding of shaping his solo like a story is incredible
Govan brought an unpredictable and new feel to this solo. That's the type of new guitar playing we'd like to see.
That's why Hendrix was Hendrix.
and Govan is Govan? :)
Sure they would. Beck, Clapton, Page, Gilmour, May, all would have been around if Hendrix wasn't. And everyone else would have been as well. Plenty of guitar players don't owe a lot to Hendrix.

The dude in the audience singing with him is ruining it lol
m45jr YEA he is.
mr5jr was thinking about that. haha
I think he sounds better than Vai actually. LOL!
mr5jr everyone's having a good time!
@Bjorn Ironsides you didn't pay shit, bitch. You got the video for free. So stop complaining.

Satch consistently has the best tone. Awesome to see this.
And solos the others in G3 always forget about the songs they are playing and have a wank fest instead actually follow in the feel of the songs and chords. I've never been to a G3 concert becuase of that. Ego stroking for the rest of them.
@@daviddorrian5349 what about Eric Johnson ?
that fernandes sustainer that steve vai got on that neck pickup is no joke 😳😳

Jimi playing Little Wing live at the Albert Hall is the most beautiful version you will ever hear of this song. Go and listen to it, it's perfect.
the Stockholm version is also amazing
Joe satriani had the best solo....So deep feeling!!!
Haha that's utter bollocks
@@gjazzbb6305 Agreed. Guthrie's was unparalleled.
1967 - Clapton is God
2017 - Govan is God
i agree with that clapton comment
Clapton's a great musician....he could have been relevant even if he didn't play lead, he still had great song writing and phrasing.
Clapton below average? OMFG close the internet.
GoDvan
Clapton is alive!!! Gut gives the prolonge to the guitar in 21st ry.. it is like box, you can never hold the title, but, if you really good, the New gen will remember you
guthrie elegant master class,,regular guitar miracle man...
Great performance by those guitar gods. Thanks for posting.
They are all great great guitarists, Guthrie is the only one that expresses himself how he truly wants with no tricks... bloody good show man!
Love and respect for joe satriani

Wadsmitter I listened. Doesn't affect what I wrote. I stand with my position.
Roberto Passos young one lol the dude is 46
You are absolutely right about Joe!
my hero steve Vai , 10 years a go , everyday listen to he's music
he's guitar is naver die
thank's for the video
p.s.
i like Guthrie Govan but my hero is him ....
gutrie govan the best
Beautiful art. Satriani, Vai are awesome! All in fun!!
love joe sat's tone!
3 gods on one fucking stage..
steve vai e sua guitarra impecavel
G3 is like a living Hall of Fame for the best rock guitarists of our time
Guthrie. No words to describe the beautiful feeling that your solo invokes.
satch - the most melodic
guthrie - most technically skilled
vai - most distinctive sound
Dio Cane OK,I can buy that!
Govan might have had the fastest solo but damn satch can lay that real soulful blues solo down better than the other two by far. His not needing to play every note under the sun is what i love about him.
Exactly. Seems most are missing that here.
they all sound great
Amazing
nunca tinha escuta o vai cantar !! adorei a voz do cara !!

OMG Guthrey Govan kicks ass!
le solo de guthrie govan il ma déchiré💪
Awesome
I enjoyed them all
Mr.Joe satriani!!
Play from the heart and others can't help but follow.
nice trio!!! 👍👍👍
Steve vai's voice is so good man
Satriani's solo had the best feel.
By far.
Were you even listening to Guthrie?!!
Wow, Andrea Pirlo on the drums.
lol
I can watch and hear Guth play all day long
I actually sense a slight sign of envy from Vai towards Govan.. Govan's ability is just stand out
Gosh I love them all but for this particular song, I think Vai's solo did most for me musically. I feel it fit the vibe of the song most by far. But still... wowzers, Guthrie 👍🏼
Honestly when i watched this it was just more proof that jimi's original solo cant be beaten
Satriani had the most tastefull solo.
Satch is my favorite. He always is
Guthrie Govan - where did this guy come from?
He's amazing.
England.
@@stevejpm1 No..... really?
@@mottahead6464 Yeah,Chelmsford.
@@stevejpm1 Who would have said..... such a skilful and talented musician...
out of the planet. lol
Joe is the GRAMMAR of music 😘
Good Job !!!
Guthrie Govan rules!
3:58 Sounds like something I would do as well as my worse fear, but when Vai does it he makes it legit.
Joe always playing with feeling and respectfull of the subject. vai, always the spokesman of guitaristic shred competition in live show.....beh.... guthrie, modern phrasing and approach, always reinventing himself through a standart. outstanding and intense.
wow!!!!!!

guitar teacher and student on one stage and then you have guthrie who smiles at what mear mortals have accomplished and says now let me teach you
Technicality levels: 9001
Musical Synergy Levels: Non existent.
Guthrie tried to bring the song back to it's musical essence, Vai was focusing more on standing out than fitting in and Satch just wanted everyone to get along.
Satriani lead soul of blues
Satriani aka The Master
6:36 initially sounded very guitar center Saturday morning.
3 master hebat dengan ciri khas yang berbeda salut buat bertiga❤❤❤❤❤❤
All the best in the world
Cut the crap- Everyone on that stage is a master in his own right. My respect to them all.
Why everyone is busy comparing each other, they have their own style. Enjoy it !
Satriani, the SRV of our time
Stevai 👍👍👍❤️
show top top top !!!!!!
Holy shit man, Guthrie is the king
lol
all the tapping in the world wont beat what jimi did
Guthrie has beaten Jimi's ass countless times by now.
exactly :D
TFIFH Guthrie would disagree with you there
God no...
....Or Stevie for that matter.
Guy in the audience singing along is god awful
Drunk asshole
Joe kills it here, simply amazing! Guthrie is also not bad... but the guy singing along :X :D
Fuck!!! Blues really isn't just playing pentatonics, feeling what you're playing is the most important thing, and these daddy's kids who never suffered in life are really far from the blues!!! Saint B.B. King, Saint Albert King and Saint Freddie King, pray for us!!!
top 3 players in the world. IMO
aaaahh aaahh aahh
I was experiencing a moment of awe, blown away as I was by these masters...and then I saw Joe's forearms. Dude, it's called a razor. You look like the missing link.
That guy singing....they shouldve put him on stage,
por fin Govan en el lugar que se merece :D
I'm pretty sure Joe's head of hair fell on his arms and that's where his power comes from. It's like a reverse Samson.
Seen them all 😃 There all Great players. Then there is The Mighty Buckethead 😎🎸!!!!!!!!
guthrie superb
Hey~ Joe~
Ketika gitaris favorit gw di satukan kerennnn
Guthrie is Young Master but Satriani n Vai is The Great Master, Always...:)
I have been away from virtuoso too long. Forgotten how much I love it . Times move on new guitarists come into fashion. To me I love additions rather than comparison which shows our differences so we can have more . Love when they all come together at the end.
satriani has the best solo here..so much feel
Kollin Baxter I agree.
Guthrie is good, but no feels.
errr wrong xD
disagree
Satriani did the hendrix double-stopp-thing but it sometimes felt like that he does not care too much about the changes.
Guthrie's rhythm section. :) Good idea, Joe. (y)
as much as I love Steve and Joe, Guthrie blew them both together. His melodies and phrasing are out of this world
Joe sat : the most tasteful of all three
Petrucci on drums!
are they ever going to put this into a DVD? what is the status of that?????
