both better than hendrix or vaughn would ever hope to be

Saying "better than Hendrix" is somewhat of a misnomer. At the level of amazing which Hendrix inhabited, there is not really a "better." There is "different," but not "better."

If you really want to see the best other than Jimi exercise skill, I suggest watching this video:

<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_D_yT12gG-s?version=3&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_D_yT12gG-s?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Or listening to this:

Not trying to argue subjectivity are you? Django dude sounds good. Bobby Blue Bland fan by chance? Basis of my opinion is that originals are better. If anything Hendrix should get more credit for what he did in experimenting with the electric guitar. Not denying his talent, but Johnson and Wolf express it better with what they used. They all had an understanding of life in their times that can't be denied, but I'd argue that Hendrix lucked out a lot with how the music industry was going at that time because if it was some mix of blues and rock it sold whether it was good or not. Hell, The Doors got hugely popular around the same time.
