Which means Jimi would be doing better, since he was a much better guitar player than GCJ.

Gary Clark Jr.
Incredible performer. Saw him open for/play with Foo Fighters in Memphis, 2015.
Catch him as Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup in "Elvis".

Gary Clark Jr would have been my pick for comparison too.
While is respected as a musician and has fans, he isn't a household name. Which is the expectation for Jimi Hendrix.

Gary Clark is a fantastic guitar player and woefully underappreciated. If he were around in the late 80s he would get the same recognition as guys like SRV and Robert Cray.
Starting in the late 1990s the music industry started focusing on teenage white girls and urban youth. So the beat was more important than the music overall. This was also about the time Swedish producers like Max Martin started to assert their influence.
Think about it, folks who know music know who Gary Clark,Jr and Angus King are, but I doubt few under 26 - 30 years old would know who he is. I think if Jimi were coming out today you might find him on some of the more specialized SiriusXM stations like the Spectrum or Lithium and you would have to discover him on YouTube by mistake. He would be regional and pigeonholed.

Gary Clark Jr. is doing well for himself.
Yet is not famous like Hendrix. GCJ has a loyal following, and yes he does well for himself; however, go walk around and ask random people if they know him and you’ll find 1 in 10 who do. Then ask them about Hendrix.
It’s just not the right comparison
