Re: Hendrix
Absolutely,
If it was a single desert island disc it would have to be Jimi.

Re: Hendrix
Eh, blues scale was around before he was. Did some cool stuff though, obviously. I think I like that he basically worshipped bob dylan and he made a guitar work, even though it wasn’t designed to work that way.

Re: Hendrix
For me he's always been amazing, and inspired my two favourite guitarists, Gilmour and Frusciante, really need to learn some Hendrix...

Re: Hendrix
That delicate interweaving of rhythm and lead that he did (clean, neck pickup stuff) is one of my favourite electric guitar things. But I'm crap at it....jeremyb wrote:For me he's always been amazing, and inspired my two favourite guitarists, Gilmour and Frusciante, really need to learn some Hendrix...

Re: Hendrix
Hendrix's rhythm playing is truly inspiring. I don't know if he was the first to popularise that style but I love it!

Re: Hendrix
Makes perfect sense! Some have ruined the style, others have improved it. As usual it's all down to personal taste.

Re: Hendrix
and for me
have never owned (or maybe even heard) a hendrix album so my only exposure is through the "hits" that get played on the radio. I like everything I have heard but not enough to go out and actively listen to more. Might go on spotify and check some stuff out. I think the barrier for me over the years has been his voice, it does nothing at all for me so going deeper into the guitar playing side hasn't happened

Re: Hendrix
I've talked to people who criticise him for being sloppy, but his playing was way too clever for it not to be intentional. I love the way he could play around with the beat and yet snap right back in place as soon as it was needed.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
