My wife grew up just up the road from where Jimi Hendrix is buried in Renton, Washinton. In fact, my brother in law worked for that cemetery and he told me he could take me to Jimi's grave. This was before the new fancy memorial was built and Jimi just had a small, flat tombstone with a Strat on it. It was rainy and wet and all the grass was off jimi's grave due to all the people visiting it.
What was cool is he took me to see the collection of stuff people left on the grave that the cemetery kept. It was wild. He said sometimes they would catch people having sex on the grave which is creepy.
That used to not be paved, but you could easily see the path worn in the grass to where Jimi was buried. He was buried right where it looks like a square of concrete at the end of the now-paved 'path' (at the very bottom edge of the photo).
I did not get to visit Jimi until 2006, after the new monument was created and they covered Jimi up with tons of granite and marble.
I am going to visit him again in a little over a month when I go up there again for vacation.Comment

As for the rest of the stuff in this thread, I do not think spEd meant to slag Jimi.
I have many, many Hendrix boots (both audio and DVD).
The one solo Jimi did that spEd could NEVER dream of wishing he could think about doing, does not require technique. It just requires you to be a direct channel from God.

Depending on my mood, when I hear Malmsteen, I either:
a) get inspired to practice a bit harder (considering I've been fucking around with the instrument off and on since 1982, I should be much better than I am)
or
b) just don't ever want to even bother playing again...he's that fucking good.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

Iron Man & Smoke On The Water would be two great examples. Two of the most simple songs, every guitarist learns these right away. Yet they are great tunes that will be around forever.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

Not according to Phil Keaggy, who wrote a song called "Play Thru Me" about exactly that - his music literally coming from God.
Up late again tonight,
I feel a song coming on too,
I might write one for you.
But where did I find these chords,
I've never heard them before,
Don't stop until you're through.
I've been listening to the radio
And when I do there's something I listen for,
A grain of truth that makes me long
For more of You.
Maker of all melody fill my heart with song,
Play how you feel, oh play thru me.
Healing can come through the song
Your own hands upon,
This is for real, no fantasy.Last edited by FORD; 04-14-2009, 08:39 PM.Eat Us And Smile

New song from Yngwie and Ripper Owens...
Yngwie breaks a sting during the solo but recovers amazingly...
A Strat with a broken string is murder...
