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.

Well playing guitar well does not equal to making great music. And SRV is a prime example of that, in my opinion of course. Admittedly, His technique is amazing and he may play 10 notes per second, but I just don't feel anything special about his music. I will take Hendrix any day.

You can invest countless hour in playing guitar and your technique will become flawless. But if you don't have that something special, you will never make great music.
