Could Jimmy Hendrix play the guitar sober?

I think jimi could play in his sleep. He was truly a great guitarist, but like Frank Zappa, his playing was not hook-laden, not easily accesible- more like ornette coleman than chuck berry. Once it hit you right, you got hooked!!

Also known for things, including the Nashville Numbering System and playing bass on many Nashville recordings, Charlie McCoy, because of his harmonica playing,  won CMA instrumentalist of the year for his harmonica playing..  At the time, he was up against the greats like Chet Atkins, Boots Randolph, Floyd Cramer and Tommy Jackson.  Would you mind having him for a roommate?  Me, I'd get out my old Gibson guitar.

It will in a way. Blues has a certain chord structure that comes in handy everywhere: I-IV-V-I.  Take the key of E for example.  E is I in this case, or #1.  Count up four frames using I-IV-V-I starting with E as 1 (F-2, G-3, A-4, B-5, etc).  That means you'll play chord E for one frame, A for one frame, B for one frame, and back to E.\n\nI know of many punk songs that use this structure.

hendrix was amazing, he changed music forever. he was one of the first people to use marshall amps because his old amps could not stand up to his tours. All of the four CDs he released in his life were amazing. He was also a pioneer of effects, he and cream came up with the wah wah pedal around the same time. The stratocaster was also put in to wide use because of him. \n\nhe was the greatest rock guitar player ever  \n\n"And so castles made of sand fall in the sea eventually"\n(Castles made of sand)

Most recently, he played piano/organ on the song "Warlocks" for the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album Stadium Arcadium. Although very ill, after hearing a tape of the song given to him by the band, he jumped out of bed, recorded his part, and went back to bed

I hate to burst your rock bubble, but the greatest guitarist of all time is probably sat in front of his house playing away without a care in the world, not really giving a flying V who thinks he is the best or the worst for that matter. But if you want the greatest Rock Guitarist/Performer of all time most would say it has to be Jimi Hendrix...

Of course I could! It would be funny as hell to get drunk with Jesus. Get him all drunk then make him smoke a fat J with me. Then drop him off in the middle of the city and take off. LOL!

I seem to remember Joe Satriani being fairly fast. Whether it was listenable was another matter.\n\nAl DiMeola and John McLaughlin do some amazing things playing jazz on acoustic guitar. Pick up a copy of "Friday Night In San Francisco". Just amazing.

As far as I remember, none. If I get home, I’ll check it.\n\nI checked it: He did play the guitar on track 1 (Piggy - Nothing Can Stop Me Now)

Please let me know if he actually gets to learn to play the guitar from a book. I´d like to learn as well but have no much time and I have an erratic shcedule that won't allow me to take lessons.(P.S. You must really love your husband to be willing to endure constant headaches for the next few months; my wife would probably recommend I take painting lessons instead)

I was always partial to Clapton, but Hendrix could do amazing things with the electric.

well if you like Rock, like I do, listen to some music that inspired it,I listen to folk, blues, gospel, and list goes on. Even if you listen to musicians, you'll always find they were inspired, some they even copied, look at elvis for example, 2 Huge hits for him, hound dog(big mama thorton)and blue suede shoes(carl perkins) and to further that, Hendrix did both of them both as well. And Just listen to what Jimi did  for the Star spangled Banner.\nPeace
