I always find it interesting how one player can be regarded as the most soulful and plays with the most feeling, and another player is regarded as more mechanical. Personally, I can't agree that Hendrix played with more feeling than Van Halen. I know that Hendrix is still regarded as the most soulful player, but to say that he plays with more feeling then someone else is in my opinion incorrect. How can we be the judge of what another guitar player is feeling? How do we know that Van Halen doesn't feel it as much, nobody can get into his head while his playing. But I have seen the look on his face during some performances and I must say it looks like he's feeling it quite a bit. It's my opinion that any guitar player who has dedicated that much of his life to guitar and has reached that level of expertise would HAVE to be able to feel it (a lot), or they would never have gotten that far.
