 Here's my take on it, seeing as how Hendrix is one of my all time favorite blues artists and regularly used key major melody's instead of the minor's for alot of his blues. take a song like "little wing" or "Angel" for example. It has minor and major stuff all over the place but it paints a very "blue" sound just because of the way it's played.

 I always thought of "Blue's" as more of a feel as opposed to a definative, etched in stone, theory, which I never really did learn much of, all I know is if it feels/sounds right, then it's right, in the context of if it's your own original music, it can never be wrong anyways.

I love minor chords. My verses are littered with them. I like to contrast them with the majors that come in at the chorus. Minor chords always add interesting little twists.
