Just how good were these two? IMO, they were the best. They played with the guitar, they played at the guitar, they played it at it's maximum capacity commanded by ONE MAN! IMO, it was a dead tie for the best. SRV was the only person to tie Jimi. They could both play each others songs with no problem IMO. Jimi would have loved to meet Stevie had he lived when Stevie became famous and known.
My college roomate Matt use to say to me Jim Morrison was his inspiration because he not only was able to play any instrument in the band he was perfect at playing Black Jack.

Michael Jackson
Tupac Shakur
Andre 3000
Whitney Houston (before the drugs)
Michael Jordan (I know he's an athlete but the way he played was poetry in motion)
Prince
leonardo. who was a musician as well as all the other things he is well recognized for.
the man might well have been the most universally gifted human God graced the planet with.
a true treasure for all the ages.
google him and look up vitruvian man while you're at it.
Not so fast, It's widely known fact that Leonardo (real name Lenny Duh-Vintzski) frequently lip-synced at most of his live shows and that the Sistene Chapel was an elaborate paint-by-numbers kit ordered through a Starving Artists trade show.
You see Jimi's and Stevie's thumb come across the neck to play chords and bass notes all the time. Stevie even invented a desirable unique string muting technique that people always try to copy. It has that sawing string sound to it. The only other person I've heard nail it 100% is Kenny!
