He has had an influenece weither you know it or not on your own playing (if you play)

Not really. Jimmy Page played like that before Hendrix had come out, and Led Zeppelin had a much bigger influence on hard rock then Hendrix did. Shredding might have existed before Page, but without Heartbreaker it probably never would have caught on. Then again, if it wasn't for shredding there wouldn't have been hairmetal, or the backlash of untalented musicians after it.
