Jimi Hendrix was still alive when Peter Green recorded "End of the Game" in early/mid summer 1970.
Well at least I now know where you stand. If you listen to the album (EoTG), there is a song that sounds like it's from Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew".
The Roundhouse late April 1970 solo of "Black Magic Woman" is pure wah pedal perfection. It's beyond Beck, and Clapton at the time. The only other guitarist was Hendrix.
Let's also not forget the "Underway" breaks in the Rattlesnake Shake jams, or the "Sugar Mama" from Amsterdam 4/69. He was the only British guitarist who didn't fear Jimi Hendrix because he could play with him, and he did on at least a couple of meetings.
