I always thought Hendrix was overrated because he did not play long enough and garnered a sympathy vote. I also think he was a breakthrough guitarist that stimulated others. Who's was the best ?

Hendrix was groundbreaking and spawned thousands of wannabees. At the same time, Mike Bloomfield and Peter Green were playing otherworldly lyrical blues that was diametrically opposed to what Jimi was doing. One of my pet guitarist creds is if he ever played with Miles. McLaughlin did and Miles told him he should go form his own band. Hence, Mahavishnu Orchestra. Double neck, acoustic, Gibson fat archtop or various and sundry solid bodies, JM owns the guitar.
