I'm not a huge / well versed fan but I've enjoyed his work with Praxis as well as any clip I've seen of him performing with Les Claypool.

Though he's not topping Jimi Hendrix in my book for 'all' time yet.
I'm with you on that. He may be a better shredder than Hendrix but that doesn't make him a better guitarist. I'm sure buckethead would agree with us, he was Influenced by Hendrix. And he does the best Hendrix covers out there. I love his cover of machine gun that he does with praxis.
