I've seen buckethead live a couple times, great show. Really nothing like it. He pretty much just ****s around and does improv almost the whole time. He's a fun guy.
I remember watching that g3 DVD with satch, malmsteen and vai (maybe it was e3), they did a cover of "keep on rockin in the free world" that was the worst wank fest I've ever seen. They reached the point where "song" just becomes an unmelodious piles of notes that has no distinguishable qualities. |

I dont think he meant that in a literal sense. Hendrix obviously knew what he was doing but I think sometimes he would get lost in a solo. Letting it kind of find itself instead of forcing it or it sounding as if each note or phrase was pre calculated.

Exactly, blooz. Also I meant in comparison with someone like buckethead, who knows the technical side a lot more.

I also think that in itself is what my definition of "soul" would be. That point in a song where your unknowingly venturing into the next dimension of playing, and making it sound good. Where its as if your guitar is expressing the song better than any words ever could and does so fluently and effortlessly. Its just something some people have and its apparent the first time you hear them play and sing. Hendrix imo did it better than anyone ever has it was almost as if he had tapped into some kind of immortality at times. Like somebody else mentioned, the guitar was merely an extension of his body.

When you consider that Hendrix was not trained in any theory it makes him that much more impressive. The man was so great at improvising, he even received praise from miles Davis.

Aah yes, what you're saying clears up what I referred to in my last post... and I agree with you both.... and I am also so very glad I got back onto this board!

Paul Grey was the bassist.
