That's for sure dude , no one can argue that he's the greatest violinist (and probably instrumentalist) ever stepped on earth , but that doesn't mean that he was faster than those folks playing his stuff now.
Hendrix was the best one day, but nowadays beginners can learn his stuff only after a couple of months of guitar lessons !! And that doesn't make him any less than he were at his days.
