Gee, so sweet of you to include Jimi in your illustrious
canon of best guitarists.
Allow me to impress on you that none of those you mention are even as good as Pete Townshend. And I would imagine even they, even Sharrock, would say so. So, I ask of you, where does that leave them when it comes to Hendrix?
I mean, really, just because you are young is no excuse to make such ridiculous statements. What, all you've heard of Hendrix live is The Star-Spangled Banner from Woodstock?
You're like, "I don't know, man, I just like what I like and I identify Jimi with hippies and I don't like hippies...Hendrix doesn't fit in with my cool image I like to project and uh all he did is play stylized blues and uh..."
Whatever, guy.
