I'm not saying he didn't have passion. I'm just saying it's overblown. A lot of people equate passion and emotion with what they like to hear. Take someone like Yngwie Malmsteen. He's passionate as any guitarist can be but because the style he plays people say he's just fast. Artists can be very passionate with what they like and what they like might not be something you can channel.
Out of all the guitarists (countless) that have come since Jimi Hendrix and not one of them is better? That's wishful thinking.
