Re: The Jimi Hendrix Experience

I've got that one as well(Hendrix BBC) it's pretty good,lots of songs over 2 discs.I think the BBC sessions are a good introduction to a lot of bands,very overlooked albums.

His version of Killing Floor on the second disc is just fantastic IMO.

Re: The Jimi Hendrix Experience

I don't know Groovy, I like a wide variety of guitarists for varying reasons and my musical mood at the time. Al Di Meola can do amazing things either at light speed or slow, electric or acoustic. David Gilmour one of my favorites and Mark Knopfler both play very slow, but no one can get one note out of a guitar the way David does.

LG, I was talking about metal guitarists who play 10,000 notes a second.

(No, I'm not saying every metal guitarist)

Anyone can shred. There's 10 year old kids on you tube doing it.

Hey, when it comes to speed, I always say ''Speed is nothing without class''

Alvin Lee plays fast...and he's class.

I have nothing against guitarist who play fast - every good guitarist should be able to play fast - it's rock n' roll to play fast!!

Play fast or slow, I love both...as long as it's ''tasty''.

Speed doesn't make anyone automatically a great guitarist, was my point.

Anyway, just my opinion.

Re: The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Yep. And every other show off flash guitarist. It's all about ''the feel''

These 10,000 notes per second metal guitarist don't impress me.

the passion and emotion is what makes good music. He mights as well used pro tools to play that fast for him.

Re: The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Rainbow Bridge is one of my favorite Hendrix albums. I had it, Hendrix In the West and War Heroes when I was in H.S. Enjoyed 'em all. Of course, I had the first 3 too, but...I think a 4 CD box of Cry Of Love, Rainbow Bridge, Hendrix In the West, and War Heroes would be very cool indeed. A similar type of thing like the Beatles' 2 4 CD Capitol boxes.

Re: The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Hendrix is such a great artist. Manic Depression, Purple Haze, Voodoo Chile, Crosstown Traffic, Foxy Lady are some of my favorites by him. He has such a unique style of playing guitar, that I have attempted to mimic in my own playing, on occasion.
