    You ever sit and wonder if Jimi had been with us a while longer what music he would have made?

    I suspect Jimi would have been an analogue to Jeff Beck: Just when you think you've got him figured out, he does something completely different. And excellently. And I say this not as a Hendrix fanboi, but because he flared out so quickly.

    That?s a good analogy. Jeff was absolutely one of the best. He didn?t approach the guitar as a guitar, but as an implement. That offered him the freedom to do things I still cannot comprehend. After trying to learn some of the stuff he did, I just wanted to start a large bonfire LOL.

    I hear you. Hendrix has been analyzed and dissected nine ways to Sunday. But his catalog is understandably limited. He didn't have the benefit of the pedals and technology we have today. Like you, after seeing and hearing Jeff Beck (I was fortunate enough to see Hendrix in concert, too) sometimes I'd just think I should put away my guitars and walk away. I suspect the same would be true had Hendrix lived to today.

    Funny, I?m listening to Hendrix. My fav song from him is one rarely, if ever mentioned. Axis: Bold as Love. Got great fills and licks and 2 different solos that each stand on their own.

    Has me wishing I?d brought a Strat rather than my PRS tonight. The setlist though is more suited to the PRS 509. (I need a a bridge HB and a neck SC).

    Jimi is great, but every time I hear him I want to listen to Curtis. When I teach Hendrix I just tell the student it's Curtis Mayfield with a pick.

    Go listen to the Impressions and hear what Curtis did. Thumb over and hammered thirds.


    Jimi was such a master showman he set the bar for rock star guitarists.

    Tim Pierce recently did a video on Hendrix using Third Stone From the Sun to highlight some of the techniques and tones Jimi achieved. Keep in mind that this was in 1967, when there weren't a slew of pedals and studio engineering was still pretty primitive.
