You guys are out of your minds. Jimi. Anything.
Why fight truth, Child. He is and will always be king.
eoe, Do you play guitar?
What about you fealola?
diane, you have good taste.
Segovia was a master.
Many standard aspects of the guitarist's repertoire were Hendrix innovations, including the use of feedback, the use of the vibrato bar during solos,and much of the structure of the guitar solo itself. All of these were modifications or innovations from the base of urban blues. If you can find one in a used bookstore or on ebay somewhere, get a copy of the first edition of The Guitar Player Book, I think it was published by GP publications (the same company that published Guitar Player, Frets,Contemporary Keybord, Bass Player,and Percussioinist magazines) and has a date of 1978 or therabouts. It should be quite educational!
Hendrix was very innovative, and I mean VERY!!
But most of his solo's were modified Blues scales, with the Whammy, and effects thrown in. A true joy to listen to while you're wasted (I'm assuming anyway
)
Hotbob: Let's not forget about the innovation of Les Paul.
Diane: I was lucky enough to see Segovia, too.
Child: I play
Mahavishnu Orchestra: The Inner Mounting Flame
Shakti: What Need Have I For This, What Need Have I For That, I Am Dancing At the Feet of My Lord, All Is Bliss, All is Bliss. (Both John Mclaughlin)
With Shakti, Mclaughlin played a custom-made scalloped fretboard acoustic....eat that Yngwie, with your scalloped electric....

Well then you should know that Jimi is overated. People think he is the greatest guitartist of all-time, which just isn't true.
