And I thought Hendrix was a Brit.
EDIT - I think of rock, jazz, and rap as American music, although rock was arguably perfected in the UK.

I've never liked his guitar playing. He might've been innovative, yes, but hardly the greatest. BB King was a better electric guitar player than him.

Clearly, you haven't followed guitar playing since 1995. Come back when you have a clue.

Maybe. But your opinion is invalid if you think Tom Morello or Jack White can compare to Hendrix. Not even in their wettest dreams.
btw, as somebody who's listened to waaay more blues than just about anybody, B.B. King is not the King. He's not even the best of the three Kings (Albert, Freddie, and B.B.).
