Thanks to Ricoboc for this great idea.
He will be our newest Forum Mod in this forum so give him a warm
welcome.
Try to keep this forum nice and clean so people can learn. Some of the
lessons in this forum will make it on the main page under Guitar Styles so
try to make them professional as possible.
Ok I will start it off...... Let's do the king jimi hendrix first...
I can cheat a little beacause I have already did a couple guitar style
lesson on Hendrix.

Should we stick with one player for the entire week...?
Also lets talk about style and get opinions....not just lessons.
Lets rate the players we discuss....say on a scale of 1 - 5...
I seen a forum on Jimmi already...I hope we arent all Jimmied out....If I
was to rate Jimmi by todays standards I couldnt give him high marks....but
as for what he has done...opened the door for all the feed back
crazies...showed us an entire new way of approching the guitar.....I give
him 4 1/2 stars.......
I believe we all know his styles of playing......so I wont get into
that......

Yeah maybe one guitarist every two weeks or possibly a month. This will
allow enough time to really describe their style and have some lessons
etc...
I would rate Jimi Hendrix overall as a #4.5 out of 5.
This guy had it all... The right tone,the right notes at the right time
and best of all he was just plain creative.
He was a little sloppy at times but this just added to his show on
stage.
He also had awesome feel and some great signature guitar licks....
Listen to the beginning solo of All Along The Watchtower.....
This gives me the chills everytime I hear it. He's got the fuzzface maxed
out along with his Marshall Plexis.....
Tune down a 1/2 step
Intro: All Along the Watchtower:

As you can see he loves the Blues Pentatonic scales.......
How would you rate Hendrix?

I'm actually one of the few that isnt a fan of hendrix's blues playing.
I much prefer his crazy experimental jazzy acid rock! Which is much of the
stuff on electric Ladyland. But then thats the fusion fan in me talking.
I think he gave energy to the electric guitar more than anything. Where as
Clapton was head down, drifting slow solos, Hendrix added that fire,
experimental quality.
I just wish he had the chance to jam with Miles Davis, because I think they
were headed in the same direction, and that would have made some seriously
intense music.
Hendrix, great blues guitarist? Nah.
first jazz rock genius? yup
Just my
opinion (but its right ) ____________________

ricoboc, you say that you don't rate Hendrix by todays standards, but where
would todays guitarists be without him?
He grabbed rock by the crotch, dragged it down a dark alley way, and kicked
the crap out of it.
He changed it forever ____________________

Telefreak,
I gave Hendrix 4.5 because he did open the doors for all to walk through. I
stand by what I said. Hendrix falls short by todays standards.
Not everyone followed the Hendrix path...many 90,s players were inspired by
classical music "Nicoli Paganini " Violin virtuoso...Malmsteen copped his
chops and so did many others....
Hendix was an innovator....I I did give him credit.....
Many of 90's players tried to stay as far from blues based rock as they
could and beat a new path....
Ala sweeping arpeggios...which you would never hear in a Hendrix song...
He was what he was....I say lets move on.....
O.K I put on my padding....have at me..... :gunman:
:gunman: :gunman: :gunman: :gunman: :gunman: :gunman: :gunman:

I like Telefreak's idea of Hendrix the East End Bruiser boy. "Oi rock! I'm
gonna nut ya mate! HAVE IT"
But if you do want proof of Hendrix's importance, check out every year's G3
concert, they always finish by jamming at least one hendrix song, even
Yngwie!
Hendrix was one of the first to embrace new technology, and experiment with
new sounds.
While I'm not sure how much of his playing and licks were strictly
original, (T-Bone walker was doing the behind the head, playing with tongue
while drinking a pint stunts before Hendrix), Wes Montgomery obviously
inspired his octaves and chordal work, and Clapton's bluesbreakers album
came out before Are you experienced.
However, like any great guitarist, he took what had gone before and
supercharged them, and fused them into his own playing.
All great guitarists have a diversity of influences- thats what makes them
unique.
But I still think he sucks as a blues player :praying: ____________________
