B.B. King with all of his physical problems can still play guitar pretty well.
So Hendrix, providing he could have survived to live to 70, could still be a great musician as well as who knows how many other projects he might have gotten involved in.
I am one of those Hendrix worshippers in spite of his "loose" playing style which is not technically as good as so many other (i.e. jazz) guitarists.
but those voices in his head transferred directly to the guitar in his hands was something i don't see a lot of people, no matter how gifted, able to do.
Was he the real "voodoo child" or "whatever". but i don't consider him in the same catagory as "rock" guitar players. in my biased frame of reference he was his own catagory. Hats off to "The Experience" as well. We're talking THREE GUYS making all of that phenominal music.
I on the other hand AM getting old, as my Opus has yet to be written...
