He wasn't the first to do it.
[QUOTE]and that invention of a new music form.[/QUOTE]
What did he invent?
He was innovative in the since of bringing things to the forefront. But he never invented anything.
The best player is very subjective.
My favorite of all-time is Stevie Ray. But I have enough sense to never consider him one of the best. Because he wasn't even close.
The best guitarist I have ever heard is probably Phil Keaggy or Lenny Breau.
Both extremely skilled on a level that takes so long to get to. Mastered different genres of music.
People just don't get much better than them. | |

Posted: 12/31/2005 6:36:43 PM | SRV was a good guitarist but he owes so much of his style to Hendrix.
Who does Hendrix owes for influencing him?
Probably Chuck Berry.
Im sure he had some, just like Yngwie had Richie Blackmore and Eddie Van Halen had Eric Clapton[ speed up]but most of hendrix's style is hendrix.
He made it up him self.
He is a true innovater.
There are great guitarist our there but how much of what they play is just ripping someone elses licks and how much is having influences and then taking that and innovating.
I guess the question is ,does the guitarist sound like his influences or had he created his own style.
I think Yngwie ,Eddie and Jimmy all created their own style but SRV sounds to much like Hendrix and other blues players . | |

Posted: 12/31/2005 8:19:19 PM | SRV owes his stage act and look to Jimi.
He had similarties as a player. He was honest about the Jimi influence. But Jimi had his influences also. And those pretty much happened to be just about the same ones as Stevie.
Jimi got his stage act from Buddy Guy. And you can hear Buddy in Jimi's playing. Just like you can hear it in Stevie's.
That and it was clear if you listen, that Stevie and Jimi were mostly influenced by Albert King, more than anyone else.
Stevie wasn't original. But neither was a guy like Clapton. That I don't see much in at all. Lot's of influence. But just a blues influenced rocker. Stevie was a rock influenced bluesmen. And did borrow from other bluesman. Just like all other bluesman do.
But then again. Listen to Red House, and tell me all those licks were Jimi's.
O, and who said Stevie created anything? | |

Posted: 1/7/2006 5:52:36 PM | I wouldnt say that Jimmy Hendrix's penatonic licks were totally all original or innovative,but his use of the tremelo bar and feedback were .
Just Listen to the star spangled banner,no one was doing anything like that at the time.
We all have are influences ,but a great guitarist adds a little something extra to the art of gutar before he is gone .
The tremelo was never looked at the same way the same after Jimmy's influence. | |

Eddie Van Halen
Zakk Wylde
Kirk Hammet

Jimi's use of the tremelo bar was very inovative to a point. And that point is Jeff Beck. Who was doing different stuff with it before. And did his own Wammy filled Star Spangled Banner, early in 69. | |
