"ever heard about people like george benson? he had technique which was much better than hendrix's, and this is only one example."
Nope, never heard any, what do you recommend?
Come to think of it I heard some awesome play by Robert Fripp (King Crimson's awesome and very weird guitarist) which I was told was contemporary with Hendrix.
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
