Hendrix mentioned Jeff Beck in the British scene, and less admittedly, Buddy Guy.<br />His music, after curtis knight,etc.. is also nothing original. .. (much like the other " greatest band in the world " ... hint (it's named after a balloon)..<br />who used up almost everything from Robert Johnson, Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon.. etc etc etc.. the list is endless (add your own to the list here..)<br />while we're talking about Hendrix, we must not forget the other power-trio who also "drew" from the same well.... Cream.<br />Listen to Cream, Hendrix,.. and then go to the other social media and listen to the originals.. you will not want to listen to anything else, but the originals.<br />it's much the same thing, re jazz, jazz fusion ,.etc.. <br />as a young guitarist, i would not listen to anything that is not loud, but after learning to play the guitar, i realise there is alot more to play and learn<br />when you turn down the knobs and really play. <br />but, loud has its place. as i cover the festivals here, i find that it is almost impossible not to play loud, if you want the crowd to converge on your stage.<br />it also sells a lot more beer, and if you're a club musician, selling beer can mean you take home more pay as well ;)matt tan zbraXing MJST canadahttp://artistcms.cbcmusic.ca/artists/49837/musicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-81414521468421223442017-03-27T00:57:32.748+08:002017-03-27T00:57:32.748+08:00Great comments from Horace and Chakap too.
Thanks ...Great comments from Horace and Chakap too.<br />Thanks ! <br />I would like to add that Jimmy Hendrix was ahead if his time. His fearless guitar playing had inspired many of us to rethink how we play the guitar ( Dawsons Music, 6/5/16). " He was not inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until 1992. As Henke said at the ceremony about Hendrix, " He was the epitome of cool, sort of like James Dean, he never grew old.

Distortion is commonly used with the electric guitar and with other electric instruments. <br /><br />Guitarists playing blues obtained an over-driven sound by turning up their vacuum tube-powered guitar amplifiers high. Over driven tube amps are still used to obtain it recently, especially in blues and rockabilly, other ways to produce distortion have been developed since the 1960's using distortion effect pedals.<br /><br /><br /><br />chakap chakapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-27319206107754028632017-03-25T08:18:05.591+08:002017-03-25T08:18:05.591+08:00Dear Sir

Questions I would like to ask are regarding the consumers of pop music in the 60s, extent of Western influence and culture on pop music and the importance of pop music in developing the Singaporean culture. I hope you will be able to assist in answering my questions.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />Warm regards,<br />FarisFARIS KAMARUDINnoreply@blogger.com
