I believe Hendrix will always be one of the greatest musicians ever for his innovation on his instrument ... It's not about technicality , cuz any kid these days can play Voodoo Child flawlessly , and probably better too .

But that's not it , Hendrix got the technique (at his time) , soul , creativivty , and probably the most IMPRESSIVE stage performances TILL OUR DAY ... And every guitarist seem to learn something from him.

I guess it's so hard to find another guitarist who can have such an inlfluence on other guitarists as Jimi Hendrix.
