I think too many other "Legends" would disagree with that statement, I've never read one comment by any of the guitarists who were at the top when Hendrix got his start, that said anything else but how amazing they thought his playing was, he must have had something that made him stand out, almost 33yrs after his death people are still talking about him, buying his records, learning his licks and covering his songs, not bad for being overrated.......
