As for d00ds mention of Buckethead's emotional work. With a figure like Buckethead, are you sure it's emotional work, or referencing to emotional work? In my eyes, Buckethead is really striving to be eclectic. So, one could assume, the emotion is presented more as part of the character, than an attempt to relate an emotional personally to the listener.

Where as Hendrix used the guitar more as an extension of his feelings directly.

Albeit, I can't confirm either not thinking in either's heads. But, that's the impression I'm getting. Not that it's a statement of quality, just a difference in artistic presentation.
It's difficult to answer your question because I'm not sure. I'd say you're probably right. But it's hard to tell if the man has something to channel in him or if he's just going that route for the sake of going that route. I reckon he's got genuine feeling and emotion in his playing and that it's not for show, but I'll yield because I'm not sure...

edit: ^ Buckethead

Jimi absolutely did.
