But Hendrix in my opinion did not elevate the guitar when you look at the whole spectrum of music, and that's why I brought up Django and Pass. Of course, this is all opinion.
The entire reason I brought up classical and Jazz music is because most people never look outside of rock, and it's unfortunate. My one and only point was to say that Hendrix did not have a good technique. He was a great emotional player, and how he does the "machine gun" sends shivers down my spine. It's just that lately I've met guitarists that think he was good in technical terms, which is simply false.

I really don't like you. Not because of your opinion.
