Well I think that the reasons why Jimi hendrix are being seen as a guitar god has little to do with his techniques. I mean if you compaire him to someone like yngwie his technique ain't much to brag about. But Jimi started this new era of rock'n roll music. Come to think about it, I don't think that Joe stump and Yngwie would have sounded the way they do now if it weren't for jimi. Thats just my opinion.
