Having said that; we&#8217;d be remiss if we don&#8217;t give a special shout-out to the great Black guitar players who have made their mark through the years. Here are 4 of the most influential Black guitar players in history.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jimi Hendrix<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To fully understand Hendrix&#8217;s trailblazing virtuosity, look no farther than his ranking in\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/lists\/100-greatest-guitarists-20111123\/jimi-hendrix-20120705\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rolling Stone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;s \u2018100 Greatest Guitarist\u2019 list: Number 1. He was a genius on the guitar, pushing the musical boundaries of his iconic Fender Stratocaster in ways previously unimaginable. It wouldn\u2019t even be hyperbole to say that today\u2019s electric guitar players stand on Hendrix\u2019s shoulders; as he was one of the first to truly explore the potential of the electric guitar. That\u2019s why any discussion of the best guitar players of all time will invariably circle back to Hendrix.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His Tributes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fittingly that legacy is celebrated in various ways, from Hendrix-inspired merchandise to documentaries like\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Film about Jimi Hendrix<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and even Hendrix-themed slots. In fact, an article on Asian gaming site\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expatbets.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expatbets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lists NetEnt\u2019s Jimi Hendrix slot as among the best today, with its 70-esque layout and image of Hendrix himself on the reels. He also figures prominently on the\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guitar Hero<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">series and is the main character in the adventure video game <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Jimi Hendrix Case<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These tributes are well-deserved, and they underscore Hendrix&#8217;s unrivaled impact and influence in the world of guitars.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chuck Berry<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Berry is widely regarded as a rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll pioneer, regaling crowds in the1950s with what\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment\/music\/la-et-ms-chuck-berry-appreciation-20170318-story.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Los Angeles Times<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">describes as &#8220;an audacious yet crafty blend of riff, melody, rhythm and attitude.&#8221; His hits such as \u201cMaybellene,\u201d \u201cRoll Over Beethoven\u201d and \u201cJohnny B, Goode\u201d would soon define rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll, while his genius on strings would go on to demonstrate the seemingly endless possibilities when it comes to playing the guitar. Small wonder Berry influenced a generation of guitar players; including the above-mentioned Hendrix, the King of Rock &#8216;n&#8217; Roll Elvis Presley, and Queen&#8217;s Brian May; who penned a heartfelt tribute to Berry upon his death in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eddie Hazel<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hazel, in a way, was misfortunate enough to follow in the footsteps of the genius that was Hendrix; and that\u2019s probably the biggest reason he seems vastly underrated. That said, Hazel was every bit the virtuoso that Hendrix was; and his guitar riffs for the George Clinton-fronted Funkadelic are among the most memorable in funk.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a feature in\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/culture\/archive\/2020\/07\/funkadelic-album-predicted-future\/614542\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Atlantic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in fact, Hazel is described as Hendrixian, playing as if he had \u201cconjured himself a nervous system out of deep feedback.\u201d But while he sounded like Hendrix, Hazel had a style of his own, and it was showcased most memorably in Funkadelic\u2019s early triptych of music excellence:\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Funkadelic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free Your Mind &#8230; And Your Ass Will Follow<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in 1970 and\u00a0<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maggot Brain<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in 1971. These albums are canons in funk, and Hazel&#8217;s guitar playing remains a gold standard in the genre.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prince<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prince is such a total performer that his guitar playing is often overlooked. His greatness on the strings is undeniable. It&#8217;s marked by an almost effortless ability to not only shift from one genre to the next; but also to improvise where necessary. He was most chameleonic in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sign O\u2019 The Times<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, straddling pop, funk, soul, jazz, rock, electronica, and even psychedelia in a showcase of brilliance all around, including on strings. And like Hendrix, Berry, and Hazel before him; Prince demonstrated that guitar playing knows no bounds when in the hands of a master player like him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what do you think of our list of the 4 Most Influential Black Guitar Players In History?
