stevie's my all time favourite guitarist, but i have to agree with black matter the hendrix version is smoother and has a lot more feel, its a way better version HOWEVER stevie's version of voodoo chile (slight return) is definetely better than jimi's, he is a ballsier guitarist! if you wanna hear sweet music (like little wing) look out for SRV's Lenny, no one else has dared try to do it.......!
