ginga john 268 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Clapton was God until Hendrix came along, Santana has been playing the same Riff for 40 years It's Hendrix all the way and there still isn't anyone to get near the raw talent he had, but like a lot of black fellas he had no tolerance for narcotics :nono: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AirgunGuy 362 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Jimi's brother Leon was just on Sky News talking about about a "Directors Cut" documentary that's getting aired next week some time. Feckers didn't say which channel or when. If anyone knows can you add here please? Somethin to look forward to Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stealthy1 3,964 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Scot Gorham is another underrated guitarist, Michael Schenker is another original, the Lady Stardust solo being a good example of his early stuff Don't know about Scot Gorhams new band? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sUFhANBJPwY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Listen to 'All along the Watchtower ' followed by the ' Wind Cries Mary' and you will have no doubt how much taleent Jimi had had. He was head and shoulders above the others , he could tell a story using riffs only. Impressive. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) The Edge is the only modern axe man that comes close to Jimi's ability to tell a story by cords and riffs since . Queens of the Stone Age come close ,though. Edited September 17, 2013 by Aaron Proffitt 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Queens of the Stone Age come close ,though. I'd agree with that Aaron, because The Edge is with U2 and not your classic style rock band he does get very much overlooked BUT few players have made such iconic sounds through a guitar, ever..! Doubt that... Well, like 'em or not how many U2 riffs can you think of in the past 20 or so years, or how many would instantly, within a few bars, be instantly recognised as a U2 'hit' and then ask yourself how many have their been... Wikipedia their back catalogue, its quite shocking..! Oh yer, that story bit that Aaron spoke about, well thats what he does, Bono gives him a picture of what his next songs gonna be about and Edge comes up with the riff to suit, how many other bands write like that?

northern lad 2,292 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 The Edge is the only modern axe man that comes close to Jimi's ability to tell a story by cords and riffs since . Queens of the Stone Age come close ,though. Was about to argue the point with you regarding the edge,thought it a ridiculous comparison,then thought a bit more.....very simplistic compared to Jimi in some ways...in other ways more difficult....the edge is a very good guitarist.....but I don't think hes changed the face of music ...confused myself now yes hes great,but I cant see many people picking up a guitar and saying " I want to sound like the Edge"....the thinking mans guitar hero perhaps (like Brian May )exept for the badger fiddling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
