. . . Hendrix you can pick out from a mile away. His sound, his execution - he was about as unique as it gets. . . . You have to remember that aside from his performance and everything like that, the way he performed and his writing, how new everything really was with things like Marshall stacks and pedals. At the core of Jimi’s playing, obviously he’s a blues guitar player; everything is based in blues and around “Red House.” Then he took it from there with his writing, but I think he’ll always be the Jesus Christ and the messiah of the electric guitar for sure, no doubt.
