why do you consider Prince to be better technically?

technical ability means very little to me. Otherwise I'd sit at home and listen to some classical guitarist virtuoso all day long.

Mick Ronson and Jimi Hendrix are the ones who make my loins tumescent, much more so than (probably?) more technically skilled guiarists like clapton or gilmour.

Prince is a phenomenal guitarist, and generally underrated.

The reason why everyone pales in comparison to Hendrix is not due to his excellence on the instrument (which is considerable), but rather his revolutionary approach to playing it. It is the mark of a true genius that he saw ways to play guitar like none before him, and that is his legacy, one which nobody has been able to better.

dying young helped secure his legend too...he'll always be the best because he died before he could release droppings like 'rattle that lock'.
