Sad because it's true.
I might post some guitar tabs as evidence for my argument, and show non guitarits exactly what i mean

Ron Jeremy said:Crap.
He played out of time, simple hammer-ons which John Howard could do, guitar solos which sounded terrible with whammy drops? well how hard is it to whammy drop?
Ron Jeremy said:He was good because he played the guitar like a women, and at the time was unique, that was what made him famous.
Ron Jeremy said:Chuck berry shat all over him, but because he didn't take LSD he didn't get the recongition he deserved.
Ron Jeremy said:Most guitarists start with Hendrix, then by the time they turn 11 and 12 move onto complex material like Van Halen, Satriani & Vai, then once they have the speed they'll move onto Malmstein to enhance their sweeping abilities.

Ron Jeremy said:Hendrix would be playing at a westfield shopping centre if he was still alive, the calibre of good guitarists are amazing.

Hendrix never played out of time. Sure, he didn't have the aid of any cheesy f**ken synth handclaps to keep him at EXACTLY 120bpm, but he was never out of sync with his band (who were also incredible).
you just said he wasn't any good, now you're saying he WAS good. But only because he 'played like a woman'. Huh?
Hendrix often cited Chuck Berry as an influence, but please, don't tell me Chuck Berry was a better player (or never took LSD for that matter)
Which 7 songs? Can you send me some mp3s of you performing these songs? I'd love to hear them.
Ron Jeremy said:As a guitarist of 12 years, i've learnt and played all styles, and without a doubt Hendrix was almost as simple as playing Nirvana, without the wah pedal, but a flanger instead.
I liked his voice though.

You are a COMPLETE f**kWIT. I bet you know jack sh*t about Blues dont you ? So why comment on those FAR GREATER than you'd ever dream to be ?
birdsteeth said:Mr Jeremy,
You seem to be misguided....I'm sure if you asked your afore-mentioned heroes (Vai, Satriani, Van Halen etc) who their primary influence was, I'm sure Hendrix would come up. You miss the point; music isn't about sweeping arpeggios, volume or triple-necked guitars. It's not about flashy production and on-the-spot BPMs. It's about expression and soul, something Jimi Hendrix had in spades. Sure he may not have been the cleanest or fastest guitarist ever, but who ever decided that that was what music or guitar playing is all about?
Why are people arguing anyway? To me there is no arguement. Hendrix was an innovative guitarist who changed the way electric guitar was played forever. God knows, we need a few more Hendrixes around today to thin out the wheedlie-wheedlie guitar wanker's ranks a little.
FYI: wanna hear some great guitar playing? Check out Dean Parks' magnificent playing on Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach's "Painted From Memory", especially the solo on "This House is Empty Now". That's what I'm talking about.
Thanks for your time.

I agree with the last part of your post.

Im not going into how good or Bad Hendrix was, simply because I'll take the opinions of the greast of the music industry over some mugs on a forum anyway day.
What I will say is this....
I think some people are forgetting that Hendrix isnt playing in 2006. When he hit the scene NO ONE had heard ANYTHING like his was doing. He was leaving the greats of the music industry in awe.
Sit down and play off you sheets of music all day and say you can do what he did. But play infront of tens of thousands, be known the world over, be known for changing music for ever, for being an icon, be more famous 30 years after your death than you were when you were alive.......and then maybe, just maybe.....people will stop laughing when you say you can do what he did.
