Plus there's the fact that Stevie could sing and play guitar at the same time better than hendrix could sing without playing or play without singing...

Hendrix is a good player, and he's definitely innovative, but also he was sloppy and stevie never was.

I love stevie's voice as well, it just sends the already fantastic music over the top.

Too bad we're not from the same area, there's a severe lack of competent guitar players around where I live. I don't even bother with anybody that's my age in music anymore, I've never personally met a guitar player that was as young as I am that could keep up, occasionally I'll find an older guy I can jam with for a while. Not being arrogant, that's just the way it is. You should see the look of shock people get when I can play scuttle buttin. There's just no talent around here. Not for guitar playing anyway.
