To me, you can talk about the technical prowess of Vaughan or Clapton or whatever other competent guitarist out there. But if their music bores you senseless, that technical ability is meaningless; it is the pursuit of virtuosity without an aim to being a virtuoso.
I like Hendrix; I think he's one of the few guitarists to transcend the limitations of his instrument. Not many other guitarists can make that claim.
