hendrix……. Ok Ok…
Here is the thing with Hendrix, he was revolutionary, ahead of his time, that era's Eddie Van Halen, I give him a lot of credit for introducing things, changing the sound of guitar and bringing different elements to music…like lots of drugs..lol
As far as his playing, he was really sloppy live, missed a lot of notes, out of key here and there, and yes i know that's what made up his music and his sound, but if your throwing him up there as a great guitarist or because he was the first "outrageous" black guitarist, well you are wrong Gabe…
There is a guy who was before Jimi Hendrix that didnt use all that distortion or any tools, fuzz boxes or tricks, he flat out whailed on the guitar from when we was in his teens to now….. CHUCk BERRY
i got a video of him playing live in like 58'…. wow..fast, clean, brilliant.
