Keep dreaming!
Hendrix is the greatest because of what he did, he completely changed the way people looked at the instrument. Quite simply put, there is guitar work before the emergence of Hendrix, and then there is guitar work after. Admittedly, there are tons of guitar players that manipulate the fretboard better than Hendrix. However, not a single one has had the impact as he has.
I am paraphrasing here, I believe it was Entwistle who said:
Hendrix is not a great guitar player. Jeff Beck is a great guitar player. Eric Clapton is a great guitar player. Hendrix, is a force of nature.
Stevie himself admitted he just copied Jimi.
