Lead Me On = one of his older CD\'s, but a good place to start. "Fare Thee Well" can bring you to tears. His music has changed a bit since that album. I\'ve gotten to see him twice, once @ Acoustic Cafe, and once down in Charlotte, NC - he blew me away both times. Got to meet him in Charlotte.

I heard he was a pretty decent guitar player.
he\'s no Palmeri
now that\'s just silly
i consider hendrix more of an innovator of sound and structure than a powerhouse technician.
Dude you ever see video of the man PLAYING?
Insane! What do you mean he\'s not a powerhouse technician? He EXUDED energy while playing!!!
showmanship and exuding energy is a huge part of the game for bluesmen.
but there\'s a big difference between energy and technical ability. Hendrix had good ability and huge energy. There\'s artists out there that have amazing off the charts ability and zero energy. I went to a guitar workshop once up at UConn so some of the most amazing technicans ever play. Joe Pass, and a handful of clasisical players. But they were yawners.
Ever see Kelley Joe Phelps play. Amazing technician, never leaves his chair but he\'s almost busting at the seams from his energy.
I sit corrected, but I still think he had the technical chops. I have gone through this myself on just how good was Jimi. Actually I wrote a paper in college defending that he was overrated. I did get an A btw. I have decided now 10 years later i was full of **** for the most part.lol
I will check out Kelley Joe Phelps though thanx for the tip!

Fellas, this is ludicrous. Lets think reasonable and logical here.
Neither is a Sir Spacey Spaceman I on air guitar.
There, settled, love it or leave it, LIVE WITH IT.
Thanks

And I\'ll tell you what, just before he passed, he was starting to branch out and play with folks like John McGlaughlin, heading to some horizons at the limit of cutting edge.....

Hendrix is the man and in my opinion is one of the top guitarists ever in all areas.
Fella\'s, you don\'t need to sell me on the greatness of hendrix. I\'m a huge fan of his. But consider this for a moment:
On stage, Jimi never strayed too far from the high powered feedback driven blues and the showmanship (behind the head, teeth playin\', etc.) that made his name.
There was, and still is for that matter, many people doing what Hendrix did on stage. They did it before him and they did it after him. Some even better than him.
The work he did in the studio revolutionized music and the recording process and is the primary reason why he\'s still a house hold name.

I read in a new book about Jimi Hendrix that the way he got out of the military was that he claimed to be a homosexual.
