New Creamback

He didn't keep cabinets long enough to do anything but replace blowups. After the mod.1982 cab was introduced, any rockstar got those instead of 1960 for stage use. Some of the stuff claimed is impossible because of time period, and other things I never heard of until last week.

Jimi Hendrix made that sound for a lack of straight technique and a ton of feel. When I hear someone cop Hendrix more times than not, way more, it sounds like smooth jazz because there are too many notes, the chords sustain, and the attitude tastes like cornflowers.

He wasn't a great guitar player. He was a great stage actor. Fearless.

Hendrix rant over. heh oh, and Super Reverb.

Hi,

Seen ever stage video, film footage, vintage TV appearances of Jimi Hendrix, from acoustic versions of Red House to anything, I strongly disagree as to the "he wasn't a great guitar player."

He amazed Paul McCartney with a cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band the day after the album was released.

This is the man who killed "God," jamming with Cream on Killing Floor, Clapton was so outclassed he walked off the stage.

At Monterey Pops he solo'd Burt Kaempfert's Stranger in the Night as Sung by Frank Sinatra for the Wild Thing solo when to my recollection the song had only received airplay the day or so previous.

I agree he had great stage presence.

Yes, Super Reverbs are cool.

Best Regards,

Steve

Later hendrix was with d120's, yes there are pics of on of his cabs opened up with those jbl's. Also 6550s in the amps, same source. This info surfaced a few years ago, I do not remember the source. Have fun!

ever since I stopped using drugs, I couldn't listen to any of those guys (Hendrix, Clapton, Page, et al)...used to think they were all gods.....maybe they're good....but I just don't hear it any more...when I listen to them now, I'm at a total loss as to what was 'good'

just my troll opinion....

[rogb]

No you gave an opinion and stated a reason why, I might not agree with it, that's not trolling in my book.

Any way enough of this rubbish, as Hendrix once said, here's a modern master doing justice to the master and making it look easy.

Dunno what speakers Greg uses, it probably doesn't matter in his case,

I really like listening to Hendrix, more than any other guitarist, well him, and David Gilmour. Oh and George Harrison. He supposedly wasn't all that great of guitarist, but I find his licks quite tasty. And I enjoy both Albert and B.B. King, though I guess you could say they are both pretty limited as guitarists. After all, the only style they could play was blues. Adrian Legg does some interesting things, but let's face it, he probably sucks at metal. I guess the most technically adept guitarist I enjoy listening to is Steve Hillage. But hell, where's his classical pieces?

I don't really enjoy listening to Malsteem, he can't do blues. Swedes don't play blues, they just turn blue. Vai and Satriani bore me after a while, they can't sing and certainly can't chicken pick. SRV? Hey dude, learn some dynamics and how to play softly, then you won't need to use such a heavy gauge anchor cable.

Knopfler can chicken pick, but doesn't really have the hair to be a great guitarist.

Francisco Tarrega? Hey dude, nice guitar, but can you play the lute?

John Mclaughlin? Hey dude, too many notes, ever heard of B.B. King?

Robin Ford or Larry Carlton? Hey dudes, get out of my dentist's office.

I changed dentists and now go to a lesbian dentist that plays XM radio. Hello John Mayer. Somehow I feel you might come up if I google "Douchebag Guitarist."

Bela Fleck? What the hell kind of guitar is that?

Frank Zappa? I didn't know comedians could even play guitar.

EVH? Let's hear you play some Django.

Wait, wait. This just in. The greatest, most versatile guitarist in the world was Tommy Tedesco. None of the other guitarists mentioned ever wore a tutu.

Though, the award for sexiest guitarist goes to this guy:

Well I guess smaller hands would be better for when they check your prostate.

Okay, now I may never go back to the dentist...

What complete rubbish, do you expect people to take you seriously after statements like that, how do you come that conclusion, because something must be shot, either your ears or brain or both.
Cut the trolling and stick to amps.

Yes, I do expect people to take me seriously after that. They can trust that I give an honest opinion.

I produce records. I have been playing since Hendrix was alive, and whatever. I have seen stuff that I can't deny. You only hear the parts you want to.

Dude, I consider you my friend, even though we have never met. Point me to some of these more influential guitarists you are listening to.
