It's perfectly fine not to listen Hendrix, because if you do you will sound like - Hendrix
 Just kidding a bit, but it's a fact that his style is so distinct you can't copy him a bit without sounding just like the him. His music is great, and if you go back in time in 1960s, you will see that back then there were no music like that, and nobody played guitar like that, there were only blues, surf music, beat, pop, soft R&R and all that. And imagine how must have they felt back then when they heard his stuff! Are you experienced record was a revelation for many people back then and guess what - after nearly 40 years it still is. You can still listen to that today, and say OMG this is excellent stuff, it was raw, pure, and soulful, cause Jimi was that kind of a guy. This is just the tip of the iceberg story tho, his legacy is what lies underneath the surface so to speak, and that legacy enabled him to be considered as one of the top players of all time. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

QUOTE (JVM @ Oct 20 2008, 11:08 PM)  Well, if you guys can think of another guitarist else that influenced more people, gave us more technological innovations, invented more now-cliche licks, and lived more of a rock and roll lifestyle than Hendrix, be my guest  QUOTE (VinceG @ Oct 20 2008, 11:55 PM) Lemmy Of Motorhead  He's on bass btw

I had been thinking for years why Hendrix was everyone's hero and I just couldn't find anything impressive in his music. The moment I played his "Voodoo Chile" and "Red House" on a jam session I figured it out. I never felt stronger energy and power in any other live performance I've done (I have played about 1000 shows). His playing was so expressive and powerful and not many guitarists can feel that way when improvising. Just because he felt so "free" on stage, he was able to deliver that energy. At that time no other guitarist played with such attitude which rocks 100%. That's exactly what inspired many modern players. I could compare Malmsteen with that type of personality on stage. To me his shows are more about the energy delivered than the quality of his songs (I prefer to listen his songs on albums than live). That kind of energy is something I have never spoted when watching Petrucci and similar players (even Joe Satriani). You might dissagree but that's just what I see. They all play Jimi's songs live because they want to feel the same way on stage but I don't think they have as much fun as he had
