But at the risk of blaspheming Hendrix, he was a pioneer, nobody should question that. But I love Vernon Reid of Living Color far more. He has blazing fast speed I had not heard in my life.
There are those that unquestionably manipulate the fretboard better than Hendrix. Satrani, Vai, Malmsteen. And without a doubt, Buckethead. None of them however can match his monumental imagination, or his considerable innovation. Quite simply put, there is guitar work before the emergence of Hendrix, and there is guitar work after.
I think it was John Entwistle who said it best, (keep in mind I am paraphrasing) "Hendrix is not a great guitar player. Jeff Beck is a great guitar player. Clapton is a great guitar player. Hendrix, is a force of nature."
Has anyone else played their guitar with their teeth? Fucking heroin. I'd like to know what Jimmy would have accomplished without it. Or Janice, for that matter.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
