  • He was certainly an influence to guitar players , no doubt there . Your sure like the past

  • Yes, you can verify it - just listen! Any distorted guitar. Any wild bends. Any Hendrix trademark licks. All of that is a direct influence of Hendrix. All players say Hendrix was the major influence. Except, amazingly, Van Halen, who said he was only influenced by Clapton and a little Deep Purple.

    You can't be Hendrix , You find your own way , after hero worship , Thats how it works . I thought I was James Taylor for 4 years , I'm not , you find your own voice to fit 2025. When they got Ray Charles in the studio , he was told we don't need another Floyd Krammer , So it's a thing I've finding your own voice . All these artists have one thing in common , They have their own sound. Like Sting , now he knew Hendrix sound . But he found his own voice . unless you want to be a cover band. I don't know make a melody in suspended 4ths

  • No rock guitar player I have ever heard didn't play some to mostly to all licks and sounds that came directly from Hendrix. The reason is Hendrix created the sounds that set the rock sound and can not be improved on. They can presented differently, like the rock of the mid-70's on but they can't be improved on. No other rock guitarists, other than Van Halen and Randy Rhodes, has created anything different since. Even they used Hendrix's licks and sounds, like feedback all the time.

  • I think you missed the whole point , create your own sound , your not Hendrix's

  • I agree. I was just saying that his influence is omnipresent in the rock/pop music world. Guitarists like Mick Jones of Foreigner, Neil Schon of Journey, and Styx' guitarist James Young, all took the Hendrix sound and put it in a very easy to understand commercial form. I would rather listen to the solo on "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner than any solo by Hendrix. Go listen to it and tell me I'm wrong.

    I would rather listen to "All Of Me " John Legend , I'm not really into rock legends , obviously you are, All the drug related rockers never did much for me . drugs sex and rock and roll , than at 40 they start apologizing. obviously Hendrix was a heavy drug user and his songs sound like it

  • Well, "Angel", "Little Wing" and "The Wind Cries Mary" don't sound that way. Those are beautiful songs.

    Maybe , I don't go back 60 years much Dead at 27 . Some kind of stupid club . Amy Whinehouse , all drugs . Probably how that got that sound , drug induced . Wasn't this topic on 1000 times more pleasurable ? I'd say no and close the thread .Obviously diffrent artists are going to push buttons more than others , its all on listeners taste. Yours is Hendrix

  • The 60's and 70's was a time of great creativity. The Beatles really started it off. The musicians were so young. It seems impossible that people so young could be not only that adept and creative at their instruments and songwriting, lyrically a lot of it is like poetry that could only been written by older people with much more experience. There will never be such a time like that although there maybe, hopefully, something in the future as or more revolutionary.

    We're never going to agree , 2025 is just as creative as the 60ties or 70ties. alot of them songs seem corny now. like it or not AI is revolutionary. it will only get better. it hit like the Beatles , Everybody talking about it from Rick Beato to lawyers to labels . The old guard hates it , just like that hated autotune and pro tools and every $49.00 plug in . Labels will eventually make money off robots . With all this bullshit I read on theft , why hasn't Sony shut them down ?. There's your revolution in action in 2025.

    After that rant .listen to 2025 music , steal a few licks like Hendrix probably did . Maybe off Lady Gaga . This lick oddly sounds like Chuck Berry , Well just change it a bit , gotcha. Don't mention that in one off them interviews with billion dollar words they like . "The evolution and scoria conforms like a logical B scale. what he say ?

  • Rob, again, you're missing a whole decades. the beatles wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the blues players from the 30's and 40's which led to the rockers of the 50's like chuck berry and blues guitarist like bb king, I agree with elvis. that was then, this is now.. AI is new the revolution. like it or not..

    Rolling Stones stole from all them old blues players of the 30 ties and 40ties . Hendrix probably did too . He was a session player for a few years . Without Chuck Berry the Beatles never would have existed . Just like today without the Beatles artists today would not exist . AI exists cuz of all of them lol

    can't forget elvis presley. not fond of his music, but he was definitely influential. but to say that things started with the beatles,isn't entirely accurate

    it started when a cave looked up in the sky , and thought what the hell is all that and beat on a drum , Nothing has changed , were still beating a drum and wondering what the hell is that in 2025. if Einstein was confused , what makes you think Paul McCartney knows ? the lectures start at about 40 years old we have a clue what's going on , Before that it was girls night out logic , we didn't care . Well unless your a prodigy , they start guessing sooner

  • it really started with a big bang 😂

    Exactly . On the 8th day God made the Beatles, Were basically still cavemen with wifi . What's that caveman doing over in China , oh he's fusing jazz with country music, 3 9 chords and a splash on 13 chords and the truth . End the outro on a diminished chord , For that Sting don't bore me . A prodigy was born 20 minutes ago , in 19 years , he'll change the whole thing, And the same old speech , that's not music from old people as kids worship him like the Beatles

    How would you/we MEASURE that? Even as simple a concept as "more enjoyable."
