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.

I saw Jimmy in Denver in 1969. Great show except for the tear gas leveled at fans who crashed a gate, and then the wind shifted and blew it to everyone in the stands. Can't help but wonder what he'd have put out in the past 35 years if he were still with us. I did like some of Frank Marino as far as comparisions go... p.s. tear gas and contact lens don't mix.

As far as SRV, the correct answer is Guitar Shorty,
As far as Hendrix, Jimmy Rogers' kid Jimmy D Lane has a lot of Hendrix in his music.

A couple of other SRV incarnations: Popa Chubby and Albert Cummings.

Azjake: do you know if the rumour that Hendrix was aiming to do some jam sessions with Mile Davis at the time of his death was true? we can only imagine what that would have been like...
