I will say, without a doubt, that Ted Nugent is the best guitar player America has ever produced. His politics is also right up there with the best.
Here is Uncle Ted’s Stranglehold (From “Motor City Mayhem”):

Enjoy!
There was a time when I sat beside Shemane Nugent at a Freeper rally and things rocked.
True Blackman and Kristinn kicked ass
Fire Fighter for Freedom gave himself a saline IV while it was 104 to keep rollin on
If he’s not the best, he’s certainly right up there. I told him to his face once, during a book signing, that as a guitar slinger of several decades I had ripped off every hook he ever recorded. He liked that. :) Was one hell of a nice guy, by the way.....sent everyone off with a “God bless you” as they walked away with their signed books. NOT the rock wild man you see on stage; a down-to-earth, genuinely nice guy.
I’d love to jam some heavy electric blues with Ted some day; blow the roof off of some joint.
not by a longshot, and I hope he would agree. The best politician/guitarist, maybe.
now then, he's still performing? How old is he?
I'm pretty sure that even Ted (and every other professional guitarist) would argue with you about that.
Hendrix was a far more gifted electric guitarist. His equal has never been seen.
Not selling him short, btw — I think he’s an excellent player. Just not the greatest.
