Jimi Hendrix certainly could play and had some great tunes. He was one of my favorites. Those funny little dot things and Jimi Hendrix music could make for an experience - so, I've heard...
 
I sure listened to a ton of Jimi in my days, and if I had to pick a song that I'd say was my favorite it would have to be Hey Joe followed by Foxey Lady
Here are a couple of my favorite examples of each. I know this digresses from the original topoic. but I feel it also fits because it coincides with the same time frame. When Jimi was playing these shows, Clapton and Cream were ending and had already ended. Hendrix too was going from Jimi Hendrix Experience to Band of Gypsys...


 
The man sure reminds me of me in how he plays single notes instead of chords. How he understands what is NATURAL to him is what made him great despite his seemingly simplistic playing. His talent is in the delivery and how his nuances tell the story.


I love how he says for young players, " The Sky is the Limit"

Eric Clapton what he did at age 23. I will never do in my life time. Eric was at my fathers service and got to talk with him 13 years later he gave my wife a guitar and amp
for me priceless. I still cover his songs at gigs and they work every time.

Man, how du you know all these people?
 
Gahr, I have a feeling a number of our members know people in the industry or at least know people who know people.
Little would I ever have dreamed I would one day be able to say one of the greatest American football players who's career began in the 60's on into the 70's. I was heading up to pay for my fuel as he was returning to his car from paying for his. Out of the blue, he stopped me in the parking lot of a gas/petrol station to express his concern that it appeared my back was really hurting me. I am not sure how many non US folks would know his name, but I am sure most US folks here are old enough to remember him. It was none other than Johnny Unitas. One of the nicest people I have ever met.
