The greatest guitarist who ever lived, his compositions were amazing.
And to cakeslob how unconventionally you can play doesn't determine your skill.
If I could play
a Simple Plan song with my ass would that mean I was talented? No, because Simple Plan songs are horrible and simple.

Jimi did string it so that it wouldn't be

You're the "N00b" (and a tool for even using that word), I bet you don't even play guitar.
Jimi Hendrix was a genius and by the way it takes more than talent to become that amazing in a few years, he started guitar when he was 16 and died at 27 so he only played for 11 years of his lifetime. Within a few years he was Godly at guitar. People have played longer than he has lived and haven't even come close.
