True as it is that all artists are influenced by past masters, you are WRONG if you think Jimi stole from anybody. NOBODY hit those licks before he did, which is why he's still considered the best guitarist there was, four decades after his death.

Also true, you are entitled to like Stevie's cover better . . . and I'm sure the fact that you're from Texas has nothing to do with that.
