Hendrix was an introverted depressive guy who thrived most in the studio where he remains one of the most creative wizards in music
you can't normalize Hendrix playing with words like "technical"...he has a style that remains as befuddling as its been influential

Meh, the way that Hendrix basically breathes his music is definitely one of his most incredible selling points, but the fact that his emotionally driven playing was so technical is a part of what makes that impressive.
