yes Hendrix has been one of my favourite guitarrists for a very long time now and i think he's on of the best...if not one of those very few musicians who made an impact on how to arrange and approach music...always keep in mind that he never studied music or learned how to read keys or to arrange harmonies...he was an autodidact musician..one who could not benefit from a education of music in a higher learning facility, unlike musicians like David Gilmour, Brian Jones or Johnny Winter...
and having created those mavellous sounds and bluespieces make him a standout in the crowd anytime..and not only for his guitar skills but also for being a very modest and polite man who spoke of his fellow musicians (Eric Clapton, "Champion" Jack Dupree or Jimi Page) only in the highest tones...
