Not true if you are looking for playing w/ feeling. Others on this thread have already mentioned Machine Gun. I would assert that Hendrix has done some pieces that (at times) can approach a Gatton or a Malmsteen or whomever. In particular, I would refer you to Beginnings from Woodstock or Mannish Boy from Blues.
A lot of times, he was stoned out of his gourd and I concede that point to you.
"True, if you are looking for technique."
Lol. What else is there if you're judging who the better player is? And Gatton certainly had feeling too.
Though as I said, I don't think he really belongs in the Rock catagory.
