A guitarist (or a guitar player) generally refers to a human who plays the guitar or some similar stringed instrument. The guitarist, in some cases, can also be a musician. Guitarists may play a variety of instruments such as classical guitars, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and bass guitars. Some guitarists accompany themselves on the guitar by singing.
The guitarist controls an extremely versatile instrument. By using techniques such as bending and vibrato, the guitarist can make the guitar express a near vocal quality.
While with an ensemble, a guitarist can take the role of rhythm (playing with bass in the ensemble) or lead (playing on top of the bass in the ensemble) guitar.
A guitarist can also play along with a harmonica as a second instrument. Examples include Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Other instruments can be played successfully by a guitarist, i.e.; hi-hat cymbals, organ pedals, bass drum, nose harp, etc. Many guitarists also can sing or whistle. Some guitarists are also adept at other instruments, such as the piano, hammer dulcimer, tuba, xylophone and tympani.
James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American musician and singer-songwriter. He is widely considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in music history, and one of the most influential musicians of his era despite mainstream exposure limited to just three years. After initial success in Europe with his group The Jimi Hendrix Experience, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, he headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. He often favored raw overdriven amplifiers with high gain and treble and helped develop the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback.
Hendrix helped to popularize use of the wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, which he often used to deliver tonal exaggerations in his solos, particularly with high bends, complex guitar playing, and use of legato. As a record producer, he also broke new ground in using the recording studio as an extension of his musical ideas. He was one of the first to experiment with stereophonic phasing effects for rock recording.[citation needed] He was influenced by blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Albert King and Elmore James,rhythm and blues and soul guitarists Curtis Mayfield and Steve Cropper, and the jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery. Hendrix began dressing and wearing a moustache like Little Richard when he performed and recorded in his band from March 1, 1964 through to the spring of 1965. In 1966, he stated, "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice".
I sought out to be the greatest
And my face among them all
We sought to be the greatest
At the bottom we stand
Together we fall
Since I'm out I'm being honest
A tall tale will do
And come on, climb up though you're tired
The higher we go the more we can lose
Thicker skin, you know we got to
Try to tough it out
Our flags flown upside down
We're in rough water
And twenty years has run you ragged
It's time to sink or swim
Where would I begin
Why even bother
Yeah I hope and I pray
Yeah I cry and beg
I tried to sit on the fence
And watch it sink in
I watch in sink in
So your baggage, store it away
It gets in my way
You get in my way
Don't worry about what happens now
Don't worry about the sky
It's on fire
Born again
Yeah I hope and I pray
Yeah I cry and beg
I tried to sit on the fence
And watch it sink in
I watch in sink in
So your baggage, store it away
It gets in my way
You get in my way
Don't worry about what happens now
Don't worry about the sky
It's on fire
Don't worry about what happens now
Don't worry about the signs
This world is coming to an end
I think we all know
Hey man, do you got a ride
No bike, no shoes to walk
Hey man, do you got the time
No time, no pocketwatch
Hey man do you got a life
Change me enough because I
Yeah I hope and I pray
Verse 1:
People gather round come from near and far
I give you Jesus a real superstar
The Holy King who left His throne to save the world
And everybody oughta know who Jesus is

I introduce to some and present to others
The greatest gift of all
He was born to free us
His name is Jesus

All across the world of the Savior's birth
He was born just to save us and to forgive us
Gave up His life so we could live

Come celebrate
Lift up your voices and sing
Glory to the Lord God most high

I love Him (cause he saved my soul)

Bigga he do it big, better check my status, I'm a boss
My Ferrari, I flew it in, threw it in
As a little bonus baby love because you earned it
Everything I taught her 'bout the game, mami learned it
Crawlin' up for sherm sticks, poppa in the living room
Bitches screamin', "Fuck me" in they interviews, interludes
"Maxi, I'm so into you", "Baby, no you ain't, you just sprung"
She got that earring in her tongue
And she like to do it out in public, shoot-out on some thug shit
Said she wanna move out of her husband's
Cousins, sisters, aunties, nieces
Smokin' on 50's of sour then her in pieces
[Hook: Max B]
As bad as I wanna tell ya, I just can't seem to say it
I love you more than you'll ever know (than you'll ever know)
They say there is no competition, you put him up and I bet he blow
Don't get mad you ain't wavy, baby
I got the Beamer that's white as snow (that's white as snow)
I'm tryna fuck it like you'll never know
Thought I was standing tall
I thought I'd seen it all
But baby, I was wrong
'Cause you're the greatest
I walked a thousand miles
But nothing's what I found
Until you came around
'Cause you're the greatest
Searched high and low for love
Just to find out that it was here all along
And I know it, what I wanted
I should have been chasing you
And I was reaching for the stars
But I didn't have to look so far
'Cause love is where you are
But I didn't have a clue
And now I realize
That the stars are in your eyes
'Cause you always shine
Baby, you're the greatest
Thought everything had change
Until the day you came
And took away the pain
Baby, you're the greatest
I always wore a frown
I never used to smile
Until you showed me how
Baby, you're the greatest
Searched high and low for love
Just to find out that it was here all along
And I know it, what I wanted
I should have been chasing you
And I was reaching for the stars
But I didn't have to look so far
'Cause love is where you are
But I didn't have a clue
And now I realize
That the stars are in your eyes
'Cause you always shine
Baby, you're the greatest
Reaching for the stars, then I bumped into you
And I cannot believe that I was searching so long
Oh baby, I'm so taken
And all that I need is to look into your eyes
And I was reaching for the stars
But I didn't have to look so far
'Cause love is where you are
But I didn't have a clue
And now I realize
That the stars are in your eyes
'Cause you always shine
I'm like Ray Charles sitting courtside, I can't see the game
These rappers get deals that need to change
Too much carrying like Aaliyah's flame
I'm in the jungle cutting trees and things
On me fatigue pants
It's a bigger picture, you don't need a frame
On the road to riches for a minute but just starting to see the lane
From linux ave to Cedar lane
I know niggas that get it fast and heed a bang
Freeze the Muller, dining at Peter Lugar
Large platter under the napkin I keep the ruger
Cigar tapping, ashes is dropping, speaking to shooters
Were schooled to the game by street teachers and tutors
Jail preachers and movers
OG's I make em proud
Enough to go wholesale but I'm a break em down
Take a pound leave out the back and don't make a sound
Bout to shake the crowd, so y'all can start the hating now
[Chorus: x2]
Ballin' you not
You ain't getting money stop
Where your work at on the block?
Who you got pumping the rock?
Thought you was sitting on the top
See me shitting in the drop
How I'm living you can watch
Trap all day trap all night
Money in the bank when that crack all white
Front around me, get clapped on sight
High top airs, got em black on white
Hat on right, tilt on the waves
All white xj got milk? on the plates
Know some real dudes that'll kill for the yay
Clip spray, get your whole chest filled with the k
Still to the day, niggas need to hate
Just came from the A
Did a part with Lisa Ray
Little light joint you can still see my face real quick
Hand shake then me n flee leave the place
High-speed chase, yellow canary charm
In a Carrera 4, I got my Carreras on
Greeting me at the door, she naked don't wear a thong
Tatted from ear to arm, the neighbors can hear her yawn
[Chorus: x2]
Ballin' you not
You ain't getting money stop
Where your work at on the block?
Who you got pumping the rock?
Thought you was sitting on the top
See me shitting in the drop
How I'm living you can watch
Lock doors when I step in stores
Dough I collect like I'm waiting for you to accept a call
Your metaphors like old ladies menopause
Never thought you was real anyway like Santa Clause
You need to get up and do something baby boy
Word to ma every morning I heard that lady's voice
Kept bud and guns that made a crazy noise
Gat fully aimed sluggers
See me with little wearer's hat, hoody same color
Pretty boy on the low black skully waves under
Tom Cruise in the v speeding thru days of thunder
Blow haze and wonder like who the next nigga?
It gotta be me, hands down I accept nigga
It was your catch but yeah I intercept niggas
Thought they was reppin the Bronx the way I x niggas
[Chorus: x2]
Ballin' you not
You ain't getting money stop
Where your work at on the block?
Who you got pumping the rock?
Thought you was sitting on the top
See me shitting in the drop
Caught you in a ring of fire
All surround me, such a blaze
Got you in a ring of fire
Lift me as you say my name
Who you gonna get to bring you water
When your well runs dry?
What you gonna tell your little daughter?
Is the reason that her daddy makes her cry
Caught you in a ring of fire
Happy days are all ablaze
Happy days in a ring of fire
Lift me as you, say my name
Who you gonna get to bring you water
As your well runs dry?
What you gonna tell your little daughter?
Is the reason that daddy makes her cry
Sayin' Jesus never died at crucifixion
So, Mother Mary never suffered so much pain
Masqueraders paintin' pictures, flip the scriptures
Don't even know His name
I, I say, say it again, happy days are here
And bells, just don't stop ringin' in the rain
Happy days are all ablaze
All ablaze, all ablaze
I, I say the same again, happy days are here
And bells just don't stop ringin' in the rain
Happy days are all ablaze
All ablaze, all ablaze
Caught you in a ring of fire
Caught you in a ring of fire
I sought out to be the greatest
And my face among them all
We sought to be the greatest
At the bottom we stand
Together we fall
Since I'm out I'm being honest

[Verse 1]
RIP to the haters, we givin' em respirators
They hate us cause we the greatest
United we stand. apart we all fall
Kill them every summer, that's why they call us the winners
Eat beats for breakfast, look at niggas for dinner
Never been five percenter, but its the young god!
Flow unflawed, too real to be fraud
Hustla, I called it collect, no phone cards
The Philly Biggie, catch me playin the passenger
Facing every challenger, tough talk and I'll silence ya
My old head said shit gettin real
So the youngin' won't stop until I'm sittin on some mills
House made on the hills, maids serving us our meals
All for the dollar bill, you heated niggas should chill
We in the building man, we used to be guests
But we've grown to home owners, who ever would guess?
Mufuckas!
[Chorus]
(uh uh)
Ya'll aint fuckin wit us
(naw)
Cause we the greatest, nigga
(uh uh)
Ya'll aint fuckin wit us
(I said)
Cause we the greatest nigga
(we are)
We the greatest nigga
(I said)
We the greatest nigga
(uh uh)
Ya'll aint fuckin wit us
(naww)
Cause we the greatest nigga!
[Verse 2]
Listen, this is greatness in the making
Runnin with the real, I ain't relating with faking
I'll tell you how I feel; we just niggas tryna make it
Ya'll feel my respect. My life you gonna have to take it
Protecting what I rep, A&R; to the grave
Nigga what you expect? Riding 'til nothin left
Spending this money right for the love of the checks
Niggas comin at ya neck, watch how reckless he gettin for that
necklace
They say you lose some to win some
But I want yours and then some, holding rappers for ransome
Where I'm coming from? They wanna know my history..
Its never been a mystery. I'm shinin' like Tiffany's
Try to get rid of me, you only hurt yourself
Cause your not what you pretend to be. I'm in it for the wealth
I'm the king of one's self, I never needed your help
The Motif Of The Streets, The Champ, Give me my belt
Mufuckas!
[Chorus]
(uh uh)
Ya'll aint fuckin wit us
(naw)
Cause we the greatest, nigga
(uh uh)
Ya'll aint fuckin wit us
(I said)
Cause we the greatest nigga
(we are)
We the greatest nigga
(I said)
We the greatest nigga
(uh uh)
Ya'll aint fuckin wit us
(naww)
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned deep to dust
Melt me down into big black armor
Leave no trace of grace just in your honor
Lower me down to culprit south
Make 'em wash a space in town
For the lead and the dregs of my bed
I've been sleeping
Lower me down, pin me in
Secure the grounds for the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling
Lower me down, pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lead and the dregs of my bed
I've been sleeping for the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or water fall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
The Greatest
I must have been away too long, I don't think I can take it
well this thing that's going on, theres no way I can fake it
you see my day-to-day thing, well let me tell you about the latest
you see my day-to-day thing, in the story of the greatest
it's been a while since its happened to me now
don't you feel good

get to where I am, and don't you try to understand
are we seeing eye to eye, I'm believing all the lies
you see my day-to-day thing, well let me tell you about the latest
you see my day-to-day thing, in the story of the greatest
its been a while since its happened to me now
Diamonds in my bracelet shine like a Kodak flash
Just motivation for these freaky hoes to show that ass nigga
I pop tags on a throwback fast
Nigga please, I'm wearin' these when I cut my grass... freeze
All you niggaz wanna touch my cash
The 40 cal's in the stash, and when I touch I blast
Televison's in the dash, suede roof in the coupe
I'm the one nigga, young niggaz knew it's the truth
And the dumb niggaz I ain't done provin' it to
Come with a clique of guerillas like I hung at a zoo
I gotta bitch to pull bitches like she one of the crew
Now a buncha broads in the back bustin' it loose
Do it free for me and charge you a hundred or two
Top floor in the presidential with a wonderful view
Yeah I'm rich, but I ain't just talkin' I live like this
You couldn't get water out the faucet as clear as my Cris
Pimpin' y'all ain't heard that latest?
Ay it's the best of the best
Young pimpin' on a record with Fresh
I drive Chevys, fuck Mercedes
Hopped out the new CL V12, got in the blue SS
And I'm leavin' witcha ladies

Yall niggaz give it up I'm the greatest
Ay, I'm the greatest, ay, I'm the greatest, ay
Pimpin' I'm the greatest
It's been a long time since you seen a nigga like me
In a pair of Gucci sneakers, jeans and a white tee
Extravagant and outa control, I might be
But I'm makin' 50k on the road a night G
Rocks in my ring, big as cubes in ya ice tea
I used to dream 'bout a Benz now I own like 3
I gotta wine-colored V, with the wine-colored V
And reclined leather seats, I ain't lyin' on my beats
You can tell I'm gettin' money how I shine in the streets
Blowin' on the best pine you can find in the streets
Rappers wastin' they time if they trying to compete
They records sales declinin' when mine hit the streets
I got the fine freaks starin', 'cus my time piece glarin'
When the light hit the carrats, got they eyes lookin' Chinese
You'll run yourself raggedy tryna out shine me
No matter whatcha do, you're 2 steps behind me
Pimpin' y'all ain't heard that latest?
Ay it's the best of the best
Young pimpin' on a record with Fresh
I drive Chevys, fuck Mercedes
Hopped out the new CL V12, got in the blue SS
And I'm leavin' witcha ladies
I got a beautiful bitch, pursuin' ya bitch
Next thing ya know, ya losin' ya bitch, pimp
Yall niggaz give it up I'm the greatest
Ay, I'm the greatest, ay, I'm the greatest, ay
Pimpin' I'm the greatest
A smooth attitude enable me to ball outrageous
Nigga fuck you paid me, I'm all outa favors
What Grand Hustle got ain't a motherfucker gave us
A motherfuckin' thing, but ain't a motherfucker played us
You gotta mil' that's a small percentage
The way ya record deal structured, you only get a small percentage
I gotta Magnum with a magnum in it
Playstation and a plasma in it
Sittin' on 20 inches and it's tinted
Gotta hemi nothin' faster than it
The 50 Gs'll pass you in it, get real
Gotta Chevy more expensive than that Jag you rented
Excuse me, but let Young Pimpin' brag a minute
Gotta bottle of Louie and a flock of groupies hotter than Rudy
Lickin' me dry when I get out the jacuzzi
They eatin' pussy, suckin' dick until they mouth got gooey
Can't another young nigga in the south out do me
Pimpin' y'all ain't heard that latest?
Ay it's the best of the best
Young pimpin' on a record with Fresh
I drive Chevys, fuck Mercedes
Hopped out the new CL V12, got in the blue SS
And I'm leavin' witcha ladies
I got a beautiful bitch, pursuin' ya bitch
Next thing ya know, ya losin' ya bitch, pimp
Yall niggaz give it up I'm the greatest
Ay, I'm the greatest, ay, I'm the greatest, ay

anotha day anotha dollar it seems
with the million dollar boy, we the winniest team
Don't throw no roses on my grave, boo
Death's not a soldier, it's more like an angel
You got nowhere to run, no one to pray to
Jesus and Moses ain't comin' to save you
(The greatest, the, the, the greatest)
I float like a butterfly, I sting like a hornet
They won't let me have it
Not even if no one else want it and if I try to take it
They wanna break me down and strip me naked
They write a brand new rule and break it
They lie, they cheat, they steal, they fake it
But I'mma make it, Lord, I can take it
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
Cut the drama boy, save it for your mama
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
I can't sweat it, know I got to get it
I'm the
(The greatest man alive)
Without no doubt my name will survive
(The greatest, the, the greatest man alive)

Without no doubt my name will survive
(The greatest man, the greatest man alive)
It only gets harder
It always seems so far away
The sky's getting darker
Another storm is on the way
(The, the greatest, the, the, the greatest)
Another storm is on the way
(The, the, the, the greatest, the, the greatest)
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the greatest of us all
The greatest, the greatest, the greatest, Jesus the greatest
Greatest, the greatest, Jesus, Jesus the greatest [x4]
What make you think that God didn't count the date
All the mistakes that you would ever make
Even though he knew that you would take the bait
He finds a way to love us anyway
What make you think that God don't have a plan
And if you fall he's there to help you stand
You made of flesh and blood but just a man
All I'm saying,
Is HE is the greatest,
Greatest (love) love of all;
He is the greatest (greatest) love of all (love of all)
Greatest, the greatest, Jesus, Jesus the greatest [x4]
People say with their lips that they love you
But in their heart they know that they don't mean it
Their placing everything else above YOU
Their love don't ever come through, believe that
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Jesus is the greatest love of all
HE is the greatest love of all
Greatest (love) love of all;
He is the greatest (greatest) love of all (love of all)
Greatest, the greatest, Jesus, Jesus the greatest [x4]
You will never find a love like this and
Oh, all the others they be hittin and missin
All you gotta do is give HIM permission
That's love with no condition
Are you tired of being abused, (yeah)
Are you tired of being misused, (yeah)
Give HIM all the love you have, (yeah)
And HIS love is given it back to you
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Jesus is the greatest love of all
What you know about love, I'm talking bout love
What you know about love, I'm talking bout love
The kind of love you can't get enough
It come from above, man [x2]
Greatest, the greatest, Jesus, Jesus the greatest [x4]
Greatest (love) love of all;
He is the greatest (greatest) love of all (love of all) [x3]

God you are
Lord of all
You're simply the greatest to me
The things you do
No one can do
It was only you
You have made my life brand new
God you took away my wrong
And mistakes from my past
You are the greatest
You're simply amazing
God how your love has captured me
You withheld your judgement
And showed me mercy
God I'm so glad for another chance
You are the greatest
God you know
Everything about me
And I'm so glad
That you still choose me
Your greatness I can see
God you took away my wrongs
And the mistakes from my past
You are the greatest
You're simply amazing
God how your love has captured me
You withheld your judgement
And showed me mercy
God I'm so glad for another chance
You are
You are
God you're great, you do great things.
What I want you to do
Is put your hands in the air right now
You can push me to the edge
I'll come back like an avalanche,
I'm ready
Got both my feet on the ground
The world is waiting for me
I'll put the stars in the sky
In my hand and into my pocket
Build a castle way up high
Come down on a rocket
The best is yet to come for me
Out there somewhere
So put your hands in the air
If you ever dreamed this before
I could be the greatest
Be the greatest,
You could be the greatest
Be the greatest
Be the greatest,
I could be the greatest of all
You could be the greatest of all
I'll make the impossible, believable
The unthinkable, to see.
I'll drive right on a rainbow
And crash into my dreams
Be that diamond in the rough
To light up the whole wide world
Like I'm in a race
I'll grab the torch
And run to victory
The best is yet to come for me
Out there somewhere
So put your hands in the air
If you ever dreamed this before
I could be the greatest
Be the greatest
You could be the greatest
Be the greatest
Be the greatest
I could be the greatest of all
You could be the greatest of all
I have all the power to do what I want.
There isn't anyone who can tell me I don't.
I got it, I want it, I need it, I own it.
With the fire in my eyes.
No limits to the sky.
I'm flying so high.
You know, you can be anything you want.
You hold the keys to your destiny
Like, you could be the greatest
I could be the greatest
Be the greatest
You could be the greatest
Be the greatest
Be the greatest
I could be the greatest of all
i am the train, you keep on missing over and over again,
i am your brother, i am your sister too, i'm everyone you
never liked or spoke a word to, i am the mountain, i am
the sky and the sun, i am everything you breathe, i got
your soul, i threw it away, i am the system, i am your
whole world in fact, i am everything you keep on giving
your finger at, i'm your candy cane, my sweetness feeds
your brain, i'm the acid rain that keeps on pouring down
and stick holes in your veins, i'm standing above you,
Shirley Wood gulped down her breakfast
Shut the fridge and joined the throng
Margaret Beatty snatched the milk in
Scanned the news and went along
Annie Harris drew the curtains
Screwed her eyes up, had a peek
Saw the marchers, heard their voices
Making early morning noises
Stumbled back to bed and tried to sleep
Come with us, run with us
We're gonna change the world
You'll be amazed, so full of praise
When we've rearranged your world
We're gonna change your world
Shuffling through the cold black morning
Went the marchers, spirits low
Grunting greetings, grimly pressing
Onto where they had to go
When the sun came up, they brightened
Stopped to have their Thermos brew
Annie Harris got up gladly
Pondered for a little, sadly
Then got on with what she had to do
So, come with us, run with us
We're gonna change the world
You'll be amazed, so full of praise
When we've rearranged your world
We're gonna change your world
At their target, numbers swollen
'Up the marches', banners go
Chanting, shouting out with leaflets
Protest for everyone to know
Sit in front of all the traffic
Harried, busy shopping wives
Try to stir their ostrich notions
Whip them up to wild emotions
Put some fire into their wretched lives
So, come with us, run with us
We're gonna change your world
You'll be amazed, so full of praise
When we've rearranged your world
We're gonna change your world
Shirley Wood was dragged still sitting
By a policeman from the road
Margaret Beatty had her face slapped
By a man she tried to goad
Annie Harris in the office
Paused in typing, thought of Don
Glanced again at his last letter
Died for others to live better
Brushed away a tear and carried on
Come with us, run with us
We're gonna change the world
You'll be amazed, so full of praise
When we've rearranged your world
We're gonna change..
Come with us, run with us
We're gonna change your world
You'll be amazed, so full of praise
When we've rearranged your world
We're gonna change..
So, come with us, run with us
We're gonna change your world
You'll be amazed, so full of praise
When we've rearranged your world
(To fade)
