Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix managed to become one of the most unique and critically-acclaimed artists of all time in his 27 short years on earth. He took the stage at Woodstock, but he performed for very few individuals because of his complete lack of fame at the time. More people have known Jimi than any other guitar player on earth as the best guitar player who ever lived. His ability to make sounds that have never come from a guitar is legendary. Hendrix, with his first guitar, is pictured above at the age of 15.

John Mayer
Most of you probably know him as the pop star known for his hit song named “Your Body Is A Wonderland,” but did you know that he could also rip out mean guitar solos too? In fact, the very reason that he got into guitar in the first place is because of Stevie Ray Vaughan! With the likes of John Mayer, you can be sure that at this time and age, the blues certainly isn’t dead!
