The 2012 edition of the critically acclaimed Experience Hendrix concert Tour, will launch with a three week run of dates starting March 6th featuring an all-star lineup of musical greats paying homage to the abiding genius of Jimi Hendrix. Presented by Fender Musical Instruments, this year's tour will include performances by Buddy Guy, Dweezil Zappa, Billy Cox, Robby Kreiger [The Doors], Robert Randolph, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, David Hidalgo & Cesar Rosas [Los Lobos], Keb' Mo, Eric Johnson, Brad Whitford [Aerosmith], Living Colour, Chris Layton [Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble],The Slide Brothers as well as other special guests to be announced. The announcement coincides with latest issue of Rolling Stone wherein Jimi Hendrix was, predictably, designated "The Greatest Guitarist of All Time."

The tour will alight in twenty markets including Baltimore, Nashville, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, , Houston, Austin, Denver and more. In terms of format, the tour offers multiple opportunities for performers and audiences to witness unique collaborations among the participating artists such as Dweezil Zappa with Billy Cox, Buddy Guy with Robert Randolph, Jonny Lang with Brad Whitford and will highlight these artists and the others performing their favorite Hendrix signature songs including "Little Wing," "Fire," "Purple Haze," and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)". As has been the case with previous Experience Hendrix outings, special guests are expected to sit in at many of the dates, making the concerts all that much more memorable for both new and veteran Hendrix fans.

Past special guests have included Paul Rodgers, Joe Satriani, Hubert Sumlin, Steve Vai, Carlos Santana and others. The tour's presence has been made known on national TV with Robert Randolph performing classic Hendrix on the Late Night With Conan O'Brien, and Jonny Lang on Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Tonight Show and Kenny Wayne Shepherd playing Jimi Hendrix's actual Woodstock guitar on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Shepherd, a veteran of several Experience Hendrix tours remarked,

"Jimi Hendrix's music has really inspired me to push the limits of my own music. He didn't observe any boundaries musically. He was an amazing player and a tremendous showman so I incorporated some of his showmanship in what I do." As far as having been part of the Experience Hendrix touring phenomenon, Shepherd noted, "It touches you on the inside and gets you fired up."

Welcome to guitarontheedge.co.uk A Web site dedicated to the best guitarists of all times. A "Reference Website" of some of the best guitarists out there. A few of them passed away but they left us with an irreplaceable music legacy, others retired, and many others still playing for us.

This is NOT a site to show to the world which guitarist is the best. This is a site where people have different opinions and preferences about a particular guitarist. You can vote for your favourite guitarists here and write any comments about who you think is worth to mention and to hold attention. Every hit in any particular guitarist page counts as one vote too!!

So you decide who guitarist is in the top of each style. Many guitarists could be classified in more than one style but I tried to classify them in his/her predominant style.

We have the privilege to start with 92 of the greatests guitarists (I will add many more with time!!), which as I said before, it doesn't mean they are the best in any case but they are the most famous and the most considered for the majority of the people. If you see that your favorite guitarist is not on the top of the ranking or he/she is not in the list yet, don't panic! It doesn't mean that your guitar player is worse than the other ones; It only represents taste people tendencies. guitarontheedge.co.uk doesn't compare guitarists. Each player is considered as a unique source of musicality. Best and worse are not contemplated in music and less in this website.

You can have a look in the Biography (retrieved from Wikipedia - (which is a FREE source of information we can use!!), Gallery, or Albums; you can listen to them with a short MP3 sample or watch them in action!! I included another section dedicated to Female guitarists. We always tend to forget that sometimes females play better than males!!!
