I can see what youre saying about him not being a "real" blues guitarist. He was too unique to play standard, "real" blues. He was doing his own thing. He blended blues, funk, rock and psychedelia into his own style. He was a big influence on funk greats like Bootsy Collins and Eddie Hazel. I think Red house was probably his bluesiest song, and he did a great job on it. What about the song Once I had a woman, thats one of my favorite Hendrix songs, its pretty bluesy. I think that 12 song is some real blues. But he definitely wasnt playing blues like BB King. Hendrix was something different and unique.
