Hendrix is the creator and the originator - NO ONE has done " Voodoo Child " better than his " Live in the West " .... not to mention " Little Wing" and " Red House" with Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding.

I think it comes down to how each player learned to play. They both obviously practiced hours every day. That's something to remember about all great musicians and is what separates true professionals from us weekend warriors. Besides raw talent, they practice sometimes more than 8 hours a day. I wasn't there when they were learning, but I think Jimi just practiced in a general sense. He obviously practiced some tricks like playing with teeth but I don't think he obsessed over hand technique, scales ect. He had a very natural, fluid style where he easily went from chords and rythym to lead and back, all while singing at the same time. In the post EVH era, guitarists began to practice specific techniques over and over and over. Like scales and picking patterns, arpegios etc. Although SRV didn't play anything like EVH, I get the impression that he worked very hard to achieve specific tones, styles and riffs. He mastered them and could executed them at will in an improv way, but I think they were mostly very rehearsed. It's two different era's, that's all. Both were at the top of thier professions, but Hendrix will always be considered more of an inovator IMO.

Love them both but as has already been said Jimi was a pioneer and to qoute SRV; "he stretched all the boundaries" Stevie reginited the blues for alot of people and was a fantastic guitarist (possibly better than Jimi) but i think you can't easily compare musicians from different era's - consider even the differences in equipment from the 60's to the 80's or even from the 80's to now! To me we should just be grateful for the short time they were here. :)
