Flamenco is a kind of music, it's not rock.

That's a famous flamenco player. You can find a lot of his stuff on youtube if you google his name.
As far as talent is concerned, Jimi Hendrix is a noob compared to him. Mainstream music generally isn't something that showcases talent.
I'd put classical music to be miles away from Rock or anything out there as far as skill and virtuosity is concerned.
I love rock, but I'm not going to pretend like the people who play it are masters of music. There is a sea of stuff out there, and saying that mainstream players are "the best out there" just strikes me as a somewhat uninformed statement to make.
Jimi hendrix isn't exactly mainstream, he's a one-hit wonder who (like most bands) started out in the small clubs and crap like that. Woodstock and his death escalated his popularity.
