Whilst the blues players from which Jimi's music derived, certainly popularised the instrument to contemporary music, influentially, Hendrix inspired a whole generation of guitarists to not only pick up the instrument but to challenge the boundaries of the instrument's capability. I'm not doubting that Diddley was influential but surely not in the league that leaves Hendrix' name spoken in reverence from guitarists.
