i've heard from various people that Billy Gibbons taught Hendrix. Is that true? Anybody know?

Not sure about that, but Hendix copied all "His Guitar Moves" from Buddy Guy!

Absolutely not true although there is a Hendrix/Gibbons connection.In 1968 when playing in Texas Billy's first band-The Moving Sidewalk- opened for the Experience at one of their concerts in Dallas-I believe. Jimi was so impressed with the then 16 year old Gibbons' playing that he presented him with a pink Strat-that Gibbons has stored in a vault to this day.Buddy Guy was an influence on Jimi as was Albert King but Jimi hardly stole moves copyrighted by Buddy, as in the early -mid 60s on the "Chitlin'" circuit playing with the teeth and behind the head etc. was commonly used by guitarists in the backline to bring more attention to themselves when doing a lead break.

Obviously those "various" people have succumbed to and are in turn, promoting yet another falsehood under the heading of, "Infallible Web Dogma".

Gibbons was a snot nosed kid when Jimmy Hendrix,...was playing in the juke joints and honky tonks in Clarksville and Nashville,Tennessee after he and Billy Cox got out of the army at Fort Campbell in the early '60s...later when he was giggin' as Jimmy James and the Blue Flames in Greenwich Village,NYC.,Chas Chandler took note of him and took him to England...he came back as Jimi Hendrix.
Here they played R&B on Jefferson St. and on Printer's Alley in Nashville.....a little white kid wouldn't have gone to see him in those days,I know,I was here at that time.
