Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore for me probably the three greatest in ability, showmanship and influence? When I talk about ability I`m not talking about technical ability but more about their ability to make me froth at the mouth.

By that definition, after I really learned the guitar, and listened to a lot of different types of music, I realized that Hendrix and Jimmy were very limited in that definition of ability. Both are kinda sloppy players live, and Page rarely wanders out of the minor pentatonic scale for his solos.
Watch these and tell me how this man has no soul, emotion or whatever the hell you nitwits want to call it:
