A lot of people are doing this all wrong. Saying Jimi Hendrix isn't a great guitarist because a lot of modern guitarists can play his material is like saying Ernest Hemingway isn't a great author because a lot of modern authors can use bigger words than he did. If you're judging guitarists simply based on their ability to play notes quickly, you have at best a rudimentary idea of what art truly is.
