I'm glad you brought this subject up. Hendrix is my favorite and always will be. I'm always arguing about who is better than Hendrix. I think Hendrix is the best. Just look at Tabcrawler.com's list of top players, who is at the top Hendrix, Eddie is #6. But there is a lot of different styles. Eddy may be faster, but Hendrix played with more feeling. And he wrote all his songs in a period of 3 to 4 years. He was so creative. Hendrix defined Rock 'n' Roll. There was no one like him. He made it cool to be a rock 'n' roller. Hendrix set the stage for all guitarist.
