He did know what he was doing, subconsciously. That's the art of the guitar solo, though. It's an accumulation of subconcious efforts. That is why you solo over the chords. If you want to follow theory 100% blatantly, don't solo at all. To do a prewritten solo destroys the spontaneous invention that makes a solo work. Hendrix, again, is a great example of this. There's a reason why his band would continue playing chords, and he'd go off into lala land playing randomly whatever worked for the time, and moment. The expression of spontaneous feeling.
