You must have never listened to a Shawn Lane clinic? Check out the clinics, Memphis Guitars, MIT 1996 and he has said it in a couple of other clinics. He has said many times that Hendrix had a HUGE influence on him.

Here is a quote from the interview "The Fast Lane"
"But Hendrix's note-shaping, where he's bending one a quarter-tone and another a whole step, then playing a note and not having vibrato, another with fast vibrato and the next slow . . . ultimately, that is harder to play than something 'technical."
