How can SRV be the goat when Hendrix existed as well?

Saying any guitarist is the best ever is subjective. He's one of my personal top 4 ever, but that's just my opinion
Hendrix, Duane, SRV, Gilmour.
Some other guy might say its Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Buddy Guy, BB King. Good choice, nothing wrong with these, they are some of my favorites.
If someone says SRV is the greatest ever, I have no problem with it. He played hard and aggressive and still hit the right notes, and with soul. The guy was blazing on the strings.
Hendrix, Duane, SRV, Gilmour.

Not the GOAT but certainly up there.

For that style of music, he is the greatest in my opinion. But there are legit arguments that can be made for others. I am personally not a Hendrix fan, but I would not knock someone from arguing he was a great guitarist.

I can tell you what lick SRV is gonna play before he plays it. And 9 outta 10 times, it's just an Albert King riff.

SRV is my personal favorite, but music is subjective

tGOAT.
Man, I just don't know.
For his time yes. There's absolutely no question. He was the best of his time.
But he pulled a lot of Albert King licks, and some of Hendrix's as well.
He was a great player, and captured the very essence of what he was playing. He raises the hair on my neck, but no more than John Lee Hooker, Albert King, Elmore James, or Hendrix.
The blues is the blues when you hear it.
It's just a matter of how you want the blues to sound to you.
I know when I pick up my Strat and run along the 12th fret into an E Blues Pentatonic, then run down to the A to really let everyone know I'm ready to rock, even though it's just me and the guitar, I'm gonna play that B like it's gonna die, then I'll go back to the E, that's the blues there ain't nothing like it.
Some might like it lower on the neck, but it's still the blues, however you want to slice it, it's 12 bars and how you handle it.
It's a lost art form, but whatever.
12 bars of Jesus.
ETA: That B run, you can make babies with that. That's the blues.

Count me as another one that just never got it, sure when he was dialed in he could play his arse off, but it was just Texas bar blues with some Hendrix vibe, nothing original. He could also suck pretty bad live depending on how loaded he was. I saw him probably a dozen times in Houston and Austin clubs before became famous, and left half of them before the show was over wishing I had just bought some beer and gone home.
