I will agree with you on this. Probably the best example is “Little Wing”, which on first listen sounds pretty simple.
And then you start trying to play it, and you realize how complex the rhythm guitar parts really are! Jimi managed to pack a lot into this song, which runs comfortably under three minutes.
Is that you Dweezil?
Little wing is a great example. This aspect of Jimmy’s playing got little to no attention but he was really great at it. He probably perfected in his early days when was with Curtis Night. I hope this thread keeps growing because I for one am having fun with it.
