I think it has something to do with the spontaneity of their playing. From my experience, sometimes the best or most beautiful sounds come from your guitar when you least expect it, when you're not even thinking.Too much thought and planning can destroy the magic of being in the moment and really feeling it. Which Is a place where soul is often found, in my opinion.
I get the point of what you're saying and agree.... but the start of your second paragraph implies Hendrix didn't know what he was doing. Did I read that wrong?
