my thoughts on hendrix
this may not be the right part of the board to post this in, but its about a guitar player, so yeah. Anywho. I think jimi hendrix is over-rated. Yeah he was a good guitar player, he had a mean wah, he was great at going from chords to solo and solo to back in quick time, but in no way is he the guitar god. Listen to alot of the metal players now adays and i think, if jimi was to come onto the guitar scene now, he wouldn't have been thought of as big as people make him out to be. So what do you people think of him?

well jimi was on of the most creative guitarists ever. thats why he's so "god-like". creativity goes a long way. santana and david gilmour both play slow melodic solos with lots of bends. none of its too hard or technical, yet they're both regarded as 2 of the best guitarists. why? becuase they're creative

I don't know Santana that well, but I really like Gilmour's stuff off of Division Bell (the previous stuff is good, but that one stands out). hendrix, though, may be creative, but I still think he's over rated.

What the fuck are you smoking dude? You can't possibly be serious comparing himto modern day guitarists. Without Hendrix, guitar wouldn't at all be what it is today. Look back at how rock and metal music evolved and you will always come back to the greats like him. And on a technical level, he was way ahead of his time, both in playing and writing. The biggest thing however, is that he played with feeling. His guitar sang, thats very rare nowadays.

he helped alot the guitar, he was the best of the time (not now) But I like his songs. Maybe he is A LITLE over-rated but I dont think so
Anyway, play guitar and shut the fuck up  |

hendrix was king, he was fluent in like 50 different styles and combined them, but in my opinion.. eric clapton is my god

great guitarist, king of his time....
ofcourse, combined to vai and satriani and shit, he's different you know but in his time he ruled, but remember, it was a long time ago, I wonder what hendrix would have done with 24 frets and a floyd rose.
maybe he would be like EVH, I don't know...

Hendrix is fucking awesome, anyone who doesn't give him credit should play a banjo and never speak again.

Yes, he's a bit overrated nowadays. But back then, he opened new ways for guitarists. He did just improvisations and these with great creativity in notes and technique.
Would you call antique automobiles overrated? They're still great cars, although the motors are crap sometimes.  |

jimi was a guitar god back then. can u name any guitarist that sounded like him back in his time?? i dont think so. he opended everthing up, without him there wouldnt be players like : clapton, EVH, santana, zack whylde, hammet, and randy rhoads they all listened to his stuff just like we listen to the players we listen today. so yah he started it.
plus he was black and A LEFTY ( in a time where there werent leftys lol thats skill )

weijia- yes, he was very creative, and i do agree, it does go along way.
Argos- listen to more than metal guitar players, even though metal guitar players have talent, there's way more talent out there.
Mofoism- clapton rules, rock on.
walpurgis- i gave him credit, i just said he was a bit overrated now adays.
Piper5150- clapton was before hendrix, 64 with the yardbirds, 67 with jimi,and yes, i just made sure.
metal=life- exactly.

Uh, banjos fucking own man, don't diss the banjo.
As for Hendrix, i'd say don't compare a rock & roll guitarist with a metal guitarist. It won't work.
Sure Hendrix isn't as technical or fast as Slayer, Cryptopsy, Cannibal Corpse.....or whatever band you like.....but then again, Hendrix wasn't metal, just like the modern day guitarists we all love are usually not rock & roll.
Anyways, i'm not a fan of Hendrix really.....i like a couple of his songs, but that's it. But i still recognize what he did for music in general, so i take my hat off to him.

thas exactly my point, everyone loves antique cars becuase the look so cool and have this "atitude" about them even though they're horrible mechanicaly, and its the same with jimi, he's not that good technically when compared to many of today's artists, but he was so creative and influential it doesnt matter. |

i don't think anyone could deny that guitarists wouldnt be where they are today without his music but ask yourself the question, would you rather listen to jimi or guys like paul gilbert, jason becker, vai, satriani, zaza, zapa, or even Timo Tolkki who have taken his music to the next level? (looking at it in a guitar sense)
