Tony Iommi or Jimmy Page?

Hendrix has different versions of Little Wing, though. He does a little more soloing in some live versions. Hendrix was starting to get interested in Jazz towards the end of his career. This is a different subject, but I think Hendrix is better than SRV. Certainly a better songwriter, and more creative. Maybe SRV was more technical, but I'm not so sure. If Hendrix had intended for Little Wing to be a "balls to the wall" instrumental, he would have made it that way. But the poetry is a big part of the song, and Hendrix loved making slow songs.
