Out of interest, Hughes, what do you think of Hendrix?

So innovative, a lot of feeling.
My problem with Hendrix, is that he has been hyped up so much by the media, many guitarists like myself feel he isn't as good as the hype, even as legendary as he was.
Honestly, he was more of an amazing song writer with true feel and soul than a magnificent guitar player, a sentiment shared by me and many other guitarists.
A lot of people forget he made song writing innovations and wasn't just an innovative player.

Interesting to know, thanks

I'm not sure yet.
I know one of the most successful and well known guitar teachers in Melbourne is entirely self taught, like myself, but of course you need more time in that situation to build a bigger student base.
I think for now, I'll just teach one student, supplement that with another part time job, do a music production course next year hopefully, and by 2011-2011ish be able to have more students on board.
Gotta think in small steps firsts.

Indeed, I don't see "shreddifier technical guitar" as any less emotional, but that's something that's not easy to understand unless you understand playing guitar as much as I. Liszt and Chopin absolutely tore it up... to some people, it's just showing off, musical w**king, to others (like myself) it's very deep and moving. I see virtuoso guitar as being no different when it's done right.

Cool  Did you lose much ability during that 8 years? And hello Pat.

I don't mind doing the dishes, as long as it's only easy stuff like plates, cups and nothing that was covered in grease for cooking

My worst job was cleaning floors of businesses after they had closed. Only lasted a couple of months doing that.

I can't say I like doing the dishes but I would never use the automatic in my kitchen unless I had to, way too much electricity for something I can do in four minutes

Ouch! I can't say I'm fond of cleaning floors. BTW Pat, odd question, but what exactly does a site monitor do? I've been wondering that for ages now.

Just in case you're significantly younger than Jimi would be today:
Re his "hype" and technigue, don't forget to put him in his historic context. Go back to 1967, listen to the prevailing radio for a while (so innocent, so "gosh golly gee whiz-cute" , and then notice how radically DIFFERENT, psychedelic and heavy Jimi is. His innovation on the electric guitar is best viewed in its contemporary context. You had to be there, to fully appreciate Jimi's impact. His style is not radical now, granted -- but it sure wasTHEN! He blazed a trail that many would follow.
History is not "hype." History is history. It's there for a reason. Don't judge old things by 21st century standards -- that's missing the point!

But doesn't that reiterate what Harry was trying to say? It was the innovation of the sound, not so much the pure technique is what made Jimi great (not that his technique was terrible, mind you). That's what I got out of his post.
