This was voted on by “musicians”. Such as Melissa Ethridge and Lenny Kravitz.

ugh....

Jimi deserves it, but he freely admitted he couldn't tune it. In South America, the radio played lots of boots from back in the day. Most of Jimi’s were out of tune and awful. And Jimmy Page was just lousy on everything I ever heard that didn't come from a studio.

If it has to go to an old guy, I'd go Danny Gatton. But, there are a thousand people out there now we've never heard of.

Jimi actually had perfect pitch, but his constant note bending, string stretching, and heavy use of the whammy bar pulled his guitar out of tune. They didn't have the locking tremolo mechanism in his day. He had to tune up between every song because of that.
