Dude...nobody holds a candle to Jimi. Countless guitar players started out because of him; countless guitar players cover him. Dropping coin on Vernon Reid is throwing money away.
Jimi was ahead of his time. But Vernon would clean his clock in dueling guitars.
Jimi would Shut'em Down. (Public Enemy reference for topical relevence points.)
He ascended to Valhalla at age 27...he was just getting warmed up! Imagine Clapton's career with a more talented git slinger. Reid would soil himself. Besides, speed and technical ability are fine, but mojo....yeah. Mojo isn't something you learn. The best blues men had it, and Jimi did too. Hell, he defined what it meant to multiple generations. He was/is the god of guitar. Full stop.
