You can still get his guitar tone but he did things then that people today still cannot do. Whenever you talk to another guitar player and discuss influences, you find that you can emulate some guitar players if you listen to them long enough – but I’ve never heard anybody that sounds like Jimi. A lot of people try, but his pocket is so elusive. . . . the recklessness is so hard to emulate. He's constantly on the edge and flying by the seat of his pants, but it all falls together at the last possible moment in the most beautiful way. He’s just totally unique. . . . There really aren’t any Hendrix songs that aren’t eternal classics. And to hit that many homeruns in such a short period of time, it’s unprecedented. It’s incredible.
