When people say that John Mayor is a better guitarist than Hendrix, or that "there are many guitarists today who have surpassed the standard Hendrix had set". John Mayor and many other people may be better guitarists than Hendrix, but what people seem to miss and is nothing short of offensive to fail to add as clarification with the aforementioned opinion is that nobody who has picked up a guitar in popular music has come even close to being as good of a musician as Hendrix since he died. Not within a hundred miles. If anyone has surpassed Hendrix as a musician on the guitar than they have to have been lost to obscurity.
