I like Buddy Holly, but as a guitarist, Jimi Hendrix for sure, B.H. wrote a lot of great songs, but that was way back in the late 50's, I can't really compare him to Hendrix, cause it was different era's that both of them came from.

sean....buddy...you've got to think outside the bun, man...
arguably the two best examples of tragic death before their time in rock and roll....name another artist that exemplifies the mantra than hendrix and holly. who else comes close, really?
and no, sean, selena doesn't count....

Buckmeister, a good cage match, however, differences abound. It's difficult to classify Hendrix's death as tragic. It would be more fitting to classify his death as completely preventable. The loss of Hendrix is tragic, the manner of which he died was ignorant. Ignorant suicide, actually. The manner which Buddy Holly died was tragic, along with his loss. Holly was brilliant for his simplicity. Hendrix multitude of styles, genres he invoked are nothing short of genius. Edge-Hendrix
