Not entirely wrong
In the process of commending the Chicago video below to our attention, Lakeside Joe notes:
FYI: Jimi Hendrix thought Terry Kath of the band Chicago was a better guitarist than he was after seeing them perform at Whisky A Go Go in 1968.
Far be it from me to gainsay Jimi’s own considered opinion on the matter; I’ll content myself with saying it’s a tough call between two of the verymost badass guitarists of all time, and just leave it at that.
As is easy to tell from the vid, Kath, like all of the true greats, was an absolute tone MONSTER: knew all about what good tone was, where it came from, how to dial it up at will, and how to keep himself and his audiences luxuriating in it. Such a damnable shame that he, like so many others, had to leave us so soon.
