Jimi was the master of distortion and the second best guitarist of all time. Stevie Ray Vaughn is number one. Eddie Van Halen is third.
SRV - Fastest fingers and chord changes
JIMI - King of distortion
EDDIE - Discovered the "BROWN SOUND" (look it up!) and made guitar playing look EASY.
Jimi's jams were so much more intense with Buddy Miles as drummer for the Band of Gypsys. Mitch Mitchell lacked the soul needed to foment Jimi's outrageous abilities to jam.

You forgot to state that was merely your opinion.

Those guys are great but I prefer Larry Carlton and Jeff Beck.

No Jimi, No SRV.
Almost every guitarist that came since stands on Jimi’s shoulders.

Nope. Hendrix is *much* better than SRV.
I’m familiar with his body of work. Songwriting is much better. Playing as well.

That’s funny.
Hendrix is pretty good. And Vaughn has talent.
But They’re not better guitar players than Mississippi John Hurt or Andres Segovia. Or even Robert Johnson or Mabel Carter.
