Eric was so serious here, about this Hendrix jewel song. he is a great great great guitarist, our Eric.. He apreciates Hendrix so much. He is emotional about his work. Yet, Eric is so humble. Thats a mark of a man. To play Jimis stuff so nice, and then dissapeared from the stage. Thats Eric Johnson.... Jimi was humble too. God bless them both. the end

joesl8 Hendrix and SRV(with loads and loads of respect and admiration) shouldn't be regarded as more or less the same. SRV was pure blues and technically great and very intense and he wrote some great tunes but Jimi was all that and so much more. He was the most unique musician ever in terms of songs, style, technique, appearance, etcetera. Just look at his catalogue. It took him only 4 years.
@cmc22347 жыл бұрын
I agree that JH far surpassed SRV in terms of originality and innovation. However, I total disagree that JH was "that and so much more" as you say.SRV far surpassed him with his incredible ability to interpret and improvise. I think he was able to use feedback more effectively at the same time having a very piercing, unique tone.Technically, it's a no-brainer, SRV was awesome, but even it was outshined by his soulful channeling of emotion through a guitar with more intensity then any before or since.Both JH and SRV are something to behold!

So the trick to this riff is lowering the volume on the guitar , then pressing the tremolo bar all the way down to release the tension on the strings , then swelling the volume up as you release the tremolo . Once you get in amp loud enough to feed-back you can keep the feedback loop sustaining using the volume swell on the guitar . You want to file down your nut groves on your strat so there is no binding of the strings ; else it won't return to be in tune.

It was raw and unapologetic. In your face in a way that was never seen before. I also was unfortunate to witness one of the last shows he ever played in the Bay Area. Tired of the freak show he had become. Stoping in the middle of song. Forgetting the chord structure he was in. High. Looked malnourished. Just paying the bills. Keeping his contractual commitment.
