Yup. Huge respect... one of those people who was lucky enough to figure out what he was born to do and actually do it. Malmstein, Vai, Satriani, Johnson... even Page. I think EVH outdid them all. Hendrix might’ve been better in the sense of foraying into uncharted waters but that’s just opinion. Can’t really compare to Clapton or BB King because the styles are so different, but he’s in that league. Incredible talent.

Any one of his songs humbles me every time I attempt it for myself. The guy was an animal.
