. . . chords, he didn’t stick to just a three-chord thing, but his playing was all blues. He had so much feeling, and he expanded it with the electronics - some people want to call them gimmicks, but they’re hard to work with. I get all goofed up when I start using that stuff, but Jimi would hook up all these different things together and know how to work them. It was really amazing what he could do with them: it was like playing a whole other instrument. It was blues, but it was Jimi. It was like 21st century music. He took ideas from everywhere, but it all came out Jimi Hendrix. There’ll never be anybody who could do what he did any better.
