bro...Goes back to what I first said - they all plowed their own path. Developed their own feeling and tone when it came to playing. King was never concerned about matching Hendrix on a technical level, so I'd say it's more like he "wouldn't" keep up with Hendrix's style if anything
im talking about capability...
if two people have cars.. and one car is good at cornering... and another car is good at cornering and has a higher top speed...
we can speculate if car #2 would keep up with car #1 on a twisty circuit..
... but we both know that car #1 cant hit straightaway speeds of car #2...
you cant just be like ... "well the driver of car #1 isn't really concerned with his top speed" as a response..
