2 Reasons Why Jimi Hendrix is overrated

1. His use of the whammy bar/Playing in general

watch a video of his performance of Hey Joe at Woodstock and compare it to his studio version. In my opinion I think he absolutely destroys the whammy bar in the song in a bad way. Nearly every lick starts and finishes with it, and because of the amount of distortion it sounds like he knows that he will make a mistake so he uses the whammy bar and d[COLOR="Purple"][B]istortion to hide it[.
After reading your post up to that point I figured you were either stupid or trolling & I hope for your sake it's the latter b/c your reasons were silly.
I won't feed you again.
