Not really a question, but okay.

Ummm...not having grown up in the 60s, it's hard for me to offer an opinion. But I will anyway. I'm good like that.

I'd say it's kind of a moot question. Jimi was an amazing rock guitarist, and from all accounts I've heard (like I said, I am of a much later time period), the best rock guitarist at the time. If these accounts are true, you could say his groundbreakingness is a product of his skill, and therefore the two can't really be separated.
