In my opinion jimi is definately better. I mean sure Eddie came up with tapping and what not but jimi played rythem guitar, lead guitar and sang all at the same time and that is definately one of the most difficult things to do in music, to me its kinda like it doesnt matter how many notes you can play in three seconds its more of the feeling and emotion you put into each note. But thats not to say Eddie didnt play with emotion.
