Default Buckethead vs. Jimi Hendrix

I wanted to compare the two.

Emotion: Buckethead
Sensuality: Jimi Hendrix
Creativity: Buckethead
Diversity: Buckethead
Influence: Jimi Hendrix

There are more categories but these are the simplest. I have been blown away by the diversity and emotion in his music time and time again.

What are your opinions on these guitarists and who is better in your opinion and for what reasons?

Emotion: Jimi Hendrix
Sensuality: Jimi Hendrix
Creativity: Jimi Hendrix
Diversity: Jimi Hendrix
Influence: Jimi Hendrix
Name: Buckethead

Jimi Hendrix is the most emotional guitarist of all time in my opinion. You can't feel the anger channeled so vividly into the riffs of any other guitarist. Those are my thoughts. Buckethead had his place too, though I don't think he's even close to Jimi Hendrix when it comes to emotional playing.

Have you listened to his album Colma? That album was personally made for his mother who had cancer. The emotion in that album is insane. Buckethead plays everything from Jazz to Funk to Progressive to Acoustic and more. I don't think Jimi could have done that. In creativity I'll be more lenient since Hendrix does have Voodoo Chile, Red House and Foxy Lady.

I think in Emotion and Diversity that Buckethead has it on lock.

Listen to this.

Buckethead - Colma - YouTube
Please don't take this in the wrong way, but I disagree with you. I still think Hendrix is a lot more expressive in the way he plays, his energy is phenomenal and I think he has to be the better player.
Yes, I've heard Colma. "Wondering" was the best, but I still found it a bit too creepy.

I really would be shocked if anyone did not pick Hendrix. I appreciate Buckethead, but he's a tad out of his depth here.

A lot of people think emotion is when a player moves around and has air sex with the guitar. To me emotion is when a player is plays what's in his heart (cheesy) and transfers that to the listeners. I don't think there's a guitarist who's done this like Buckethead. In the end it's all opinion but if I'm going to be subjectively objective Buckethead is better.

Its my opinion that most people only know about what they hear on the radio or whatever is popular by most mega artist.

They never get to see behind closed doors, to the full extent of an artists talent.

I don't know much of anything about Buckethead, but I really don't see anyone playing "through the guitar" any better than Hendrix.

Nah..when I listen to Hendrix it's nowhere near Buckethead.
