Hendrix is tops. Rosetta Tharpe was bad ass as they come. And prolly influenced more players than we know. She is like a female Robert Johnson, and she got busy on the damn guitar. She might have been better than RJ too. Check her out. She kind of unheralded but def was ahead of her time.

jimi was a blues player
stevie vai was taught by zappa
prince playing while my guitar gently weeps isnt that amazing its actually a really easy solo to play
john mayer is okay but BB King embarrassed him on stage completely
Jimi was just the king of owning a guitar no matter what genre ... most of his shyt was blues though not hard rock

He was actually more than that but blues was his basis.
Hard rock is blues-based. The difference with hendrix was his R&B influence
that came out in songs like Little Wing
Greenhornet
A God Among Kings

R&B which literally means rhythm and blues
nikkas trying to school cats and shyt ... of course hard rock is blues based what do you think came out first man

Blues and R&B are related but not the same. R&B guitar has more Jazz in it

my point was that hard rock and blues are closer together than blues and R&b guitar.

Hendrix R&B style is why he stood from all the British guys
"Clapton assessed Jimi's roots, "We sort of dug up all our heros and compared them and we actually thought the same. He liked Robert Johnson, he liked Freddie and B.B. King, and he liked Buddy Guy. He liked all the same people and he just seemed to be conversant in all this. I mean it was such a thrill for me because it was all second hand, in reality, for me, it was something that I learned from records. This guy had been amongst them and was one of them...I was a one-way player. I played strict Chicago blues, I never tried to cross it with anything. And he had this melting pot going on that he'd drawn from different places."
