What Guitarists Remind You Of SRV Or Hendrix?

I never had the chance to see either live but I own many studio and bootleg recordings by both. I have had the pleasure of seeing a handful of players that reminded me of them, these include Chris Duarte, Mato Nanji of Indigenous, Bill Perry, and Kenny Wayne Sheperd. If you get a chance to see any of these guys you will not be disappointed.

Azjake, point taken! I never saw Hendrix live. But did you see Bill Nelson perform "Purple Haze" live, either?

Bill Nelson of BeBop Deluxe reminded me of Hendrix especially on some of the live stuff...making a guitar sound like a seagull cry on "Sister Seagull", on the LIVE IN THE AIR AGE recording. I saw a LITAA concert back in 1977. For the second encore, Bill did a cover of "Purple Haze". I don't mean to sound sacrilegious, but other than the vocals, you'd swear that the spirit of Hendrix had come back and was playing guitar. To this day, I still can't believe what I heard on that night in Miami!
