i think hendrix is more overrated than page imo. If your talking about guitarists, that is. As a musician, hendrix is probbably better, taking into consideration that he was the lead singer, songwriter, and that he played a right handed guitar when he was a lefty. However, if youre just talking about straight up guitar playing, jimmy page outdoes hendrix any day of the week. Page had more songs, better riffs, longer solos, etc. Correct me if i'm wrong but i have yet to hear a song by hendrix with an acoustic, however, page had a great number of acoustic songs that were totally amazing. black mountain side, bron-y-aur, babe im gonna leave you, etc. Page was so much more diverse in my opinion. I also prefer the tone of pages guitar too, but thats just my preference.
