I'd say that Hendrix guy, but I'll take Beck over Clapton for originality, and Page's influence was really in the seventies.  Love Peter Green, but he wasn't nearly as influential, largely unknown in USA in the sixties.

Of course, you are correct...I'm giving it to Jeff Beck, today at least, for predating Hendrix.

Not really... 

Nonetheless a nice symbolic gesture!   And we in the mainstream USA heard all of those great Beck-period Yardbirds singles one to two years before we ever heard anything recognizable as Hendrix.

Loved his playing since he was in the Yardbirds, til now.  Saw him in SK and MN long ago.  Seriously bummed.  Also found out today one of my ex-girlfriends died recently.  Bad day.

Sorry to hear it. Condolences.
