Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Oh, good call. Definitely him, though I think some overstate his influence on playing the electric guitar. That was catching on before him, during his heyday, and long after him. But, he too was DEFINITELY monumental. His influence on playing the guitar might be smaller, though his name sold a fucking metric-butt-ton of guitars.

I'd have to ponder that one for a while, but he was absolutely monumental. He straight up pioneered the use of multitracking. Not by himself, of course.

I would say that Hendrix convinced (and influenced) many guitar players - convincing all sorts of people to pick up the guitar.

He wasn't as good as people claim, but he certainly influenced a ton of people.

Having the guitars his name is on being high quality instruments that sound great helped sell them too

I wonder how many kids picked up a Les Paul (which were still expensive at the time, in equivalent dollar values) thinking they'd sound like him? LOL Poor kids...

Oh, Ronny James Dio... Him... He popularized the first and fourth finger extension - or, as we know it today, 'throwing horns'.

We could probably include a Jim Morrison thing or two in the mix. He certainly was good at making a crowd his own, but I'm not sure if it was as crazy as Beatles Mania.

Probably could count the Mop Tops coming to America as monumental as well.

Jim Morrison? He was an over promoted lounge singer.

Dio had that leather lung sound
