I just saw this as I was about to go to bed. But I did read his analysis of Hendrix. That was outstanding. Maybe the best I've seen. Just these two paragraphs say quite a lot. Great insight!
Rhythm guitar. From his funky rhythm work to the many different chords and voicings he popularized in rock, Jimi's rhythm style was probably even more influential than his lead style. Having played with bands like the Isleys and Ike and Tina Turner, Jimi brought authentic R&B and Soul rhythm stylings to rock guitar.
Lead guitar. He wasn't a technician like Clapton in Cream, or a proto-shredder like Blackmore, but Jimi certainly had the chops that were the equal of his 60s peers or better. He played with plenty of flash, attitude, emotion, and could be beautifully melodic.
