Carlos is/was probably a better guitar player, But he is no match to Henrix's talent... the guy is one of the best guitar players in the world and he doesn't even know how to play chords or read notes!
A true genius in my mind...

I play guitar a lot and I like both,but Jimi Hendrix was a precursor of modern music and guitar tricks.
Santana is preferred much more by girls because of his love songs.

A few years ago I went to a show co-starred by Santana and Jeff Beck. I was dissappointed with Santana; gone were the sweeping lyrical lines of the earlier Santana that were unmistakingly *him*; he sounded like a (good) bar-band player, much like everyone else.
Beck sounded awesome, it was right after "Guitar Shop" was released.
Hendrix or Santana? Bit like asking Morphy or Steinitz? 🙂

Jimi, way over rated. Santana, tired old stuff.

How about Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers or David Gilmore of Pink Floyd?
