What he said

LOL. Only funny example of the self-quote I seen around here. Nicely played.

/disagree with your sentiment, tho

Eat yourself

As a player (if we forget his icon status), he was good. But not technically proficient, nor able to play in different styles and over complex chord changes without getting lost.

yes and me and my father have a disagreement when it comes to this. To be totally honest...i like SRV a bit better because to me he is cleaner and sharper. Ok take for isntance the diff between Mingus and Davis. (i know they played different instruments) but Davis played much cleaner sharper and fluid ...its limited but more pleasant for me. Mingus was off the wall abstract and sometimes i thought he was just playin shit for the sake of playing it with no rhyme or reason. But he is still considered  virtiruoso because he could make the bass do anything he wanted. I say that to say this, Yes jimi was awsome because he made the guitar make sounds that were never heard (like tom morello of RATM) but sometimes it sounded like noise.

great great great great guitarist


what does it matter how technically skilled a player is ? i think its much more about the music

anybody can take lessons for 30 years and become very very skilled. but not just anybody will have the musical creativeness to create totally new+awesome melodies on the guitar

Joking son, I'm not racist. I have friends from many different backgrounds, seems silly to me, people are girls black/white/brown/yellow it's never safe to generalise.

I absolutley feel you..the key words are create new and awesome melodies. And jimi and tom will give you that. But i guess i prefer the technical chord changes of srv or fats domino or albert king to a wild off the wall LSD induced solo by jimi.

okay ill agree there because jimmis solos are not always so enjoyable. but his songs i feel are as good as it gets.

take for example...Star Spangaled banner...It was awesome for the most part..but then he gets all crazy and it sounds like shit..

It seems to Debussey that the entire american culture simply sees black as "sub-humans" in most aspects of life. In everything from business to education.

Like the expression "mudshark", and "she is tainted" (for a white woman having fucked a black man).

Is this accurate?

all you have to do is read this forum and some of the posts daily about "african americans" and you'll have your answer.

it's all based off of sheer ignorance if you ask me.

that is all.

I didn't know that either, but it seems to me that was there best selling guitar to that date. Besides the Telecaster.

[The Master]

Stratocasters suck.

I prefer a Les Paul honestly.

Tele's were more loved by muscians and were a much better seller back in the day.don't forget all the county players that were all about tele's.

We have a winner!

Most of Jimmy Page's early Zep recording was done on a tele including "Stairway"

Hmmmm. I think that was done on a double neck Gibson SG.. Well, that's what he played in Concert anyways. Multi Track recording is the bomb.

I like the brothers....nobody makes me laugh more in the gym.

FYI ~ I mean that in a good way.

i just watched some charity concert Eric Clapton put on last year.  Almost everyone but him was playing a telecaster.

I have a shitty epiphone les paul. 

Here's my order of equipment buying i plan on buying:

1. complete pedal rack, i have about 4, i'm shooting for about 5 more pedals / effects.
2. get marshall amp head plus crate.
3. get fender stratocaster
4. get telecaster
5. get boner inducing les paul
6. buy bass
7. repeat list for bass

This of course, will take place over many years.  240 or Rob gave me a couple more pedals to get, so i might buy one or two of those this weekend.
