ahoy all,

i hate sayin' this, because i know its a kind 'o heresy, but i never understood the fascination with Mr. Hendrix and his style 'o playin'.

to me own ears, he was very sloppy.

still, good news fer his fans, i suppose.

aye.

You've got bigger balls than I as I was terrified to post the same.

I don’t know the background that informs your criticism, matey, but I think you could say that of practically all of the rock guitarists of Hendrix’s [or any?] era. With some notable exceptions, a fair number of these guys lacked formal musical training and could barely read music.

Sloppy or no, Hendrix was doing things with the electric guitar [no, I’m not talking about burning them on stage lol] that was way ahead of his time. Sloppy or no, Hendrix was quite the innovator and let’s not forget that guitar wizardry was only part of his music.

Was Hendrix as clean as a classical or a jazz guitar virtuoso? No, but plug Joe Pass into a stack of Marshall amps, in full distortion mode, and he would have looked [and sounded] a little silly.

Musical apples and oranges, matey.

ahoy Darth Hussein Omar,

i played fer around 12 years or so, and be self taught. i favored Fenders, me favorite was me Telecaster Starburst, a 1962 re-issue...i also own a Rickenbacker 360, blonde. i own a bunch 'o other guitars, but them be favorite. the amp i favored was me Roland Jazz Chorus, so maybe 'tis just that i just sorta prefer a cleaner sound. imma just a hack, of course, but i've some familiarity.

i think ye can play with distortion and feedback, usin' a wall 'o Marshall stacks, and still play cleanly. Mr. Van Halen certainly managed to do so. i wasn't a big fan 'o his band or his music, but we're just talkin' about guitar playin', aye?

though i don't follow his music any longer, when i think 'o great rock guitar virtuosos Mark Knopfler comes to mind, not Jimi Hendrix.

aye.

While I much favor the guitar of Chet Atkins, I can appreciate Hendricks talent.
