Hendrix was the big 3.
Indeed, but a fan of the English big 3.
Clapton is very overrated, but as far as innovation and influence (within white boy blues etc) he was really important.
The world of music would be much the same whether Taylor existed or not. That's not the case with regards to the big 3.

You do no no as much as you want and argue as much as you want, but to me no other guitarist, Hendrix included, has or had the capacity to express and transport so much feel and emotion as Taylor did. Like it or not, I don't care but enjoy. I've been listening to this video with Billy P. and I can't get enough of it. What a musician!

Those ears you claim are special are actually just faulty. Must be that encrusted Taylor spunk in them.
PS: It's not a video.

Call it what you want, it's not important. It's all jealousy.

I think Hendrix is the only one you can confidently say had a real influence on the rest of the rock world.
Taylor is up with the Becks, Pages etc..whether you like it or not.
...and there's lots of people who would agree with me on that one.

Those 3 were quite important, influential etc and anyone that thinks otherwise is really quite clueless about the history of pop/rock music.
Taylor is not up there with them whether you like it or not.
There's lots of people who agree with me on that.

>Taylor didn't play with Preston in Rotterdam, 1973. Just reverse everything >Kleermaker quotes and you'll always get the right answer. Easy.
There's audience recordings from Preston's three Rotterdam-sets with a clearly audible Mick Taylor on one of the shows (probably Oct. 13) and an absent Taylor on the other two (probably Oct. 14.).

But, of course, of those British "guitar gods", Mick Taylor is my personal favourite, even though belonging to the second division in influencewise. Taylor was a perfect choice for the Rolling Stones: Mick and Keith couldn't have better guitarist for that spot in 1969. No better application of great British blues guitar generation was done what that kid that with their material... Interestingly, while Jimi Hendrix made the whole British guitar school to look a bit boring, unimaginative and school-boy-like - and now a historical anecdote - Taylor's delicated contribution with the Stones still sounds timeless and spot-on.

Their move to get a bluesbreaker and jump on board that whole rock with that kind of lead guitarist was a bit cheap IMO. They knew Clapton wouldn't work out in the long run so got someone similar, but a few levels down the pecking order... that didn't work out in long run either.
He lucked out big time in 1969, but anyone joining then would have to have been really crap or @#$%& up to not have been inspired to play some good stuff.

The entire show (which is only 28 minutes by the way).
