thats abovious. Jimi Hendrix all the way.

Yes maybe Skillwise SRV was better BUT Hendrix had his own unique sound that even now noone has really been able to mimic perfectly. Not to mention he made todays effects(aka wah pedal) popular. And his lyrics are a lot more inventive. Hendrix has my ballet

Check out Eric Gales... he's known as the best Hendrix cover artist out there. I think he does a good job of getting Hendrix's tone and sound...

im not tryin to sound like a scholar and im not gona say "i think". . . but from what ive gathered ive come to the conclusion that there is no conclusion for various reasons mainly because of the "better" issue because better can be a very broad issue, If you want older more technical perfection and precission timing you probably like vaughn, had he eaten as much acid as hendrix he may have brought out the more inventive more creative style of music hendrix is famous for, not to say hendrix wasn't a musical genius and his type of creativity could be duplicated because it will probably never be and if it is it will never have the same kind of praise considering he was one of the first of his kind to be shown to the masses, i hope i havent taken a side on the issue because then i would be arguing and there should be no argument unless all factors can be figured in and more than likely they can't, i could be wrong but i also hope i kept a few more of the open-minded people who get caught in this from arguing too
