>I could be the next Thomas Edison if I went down
to Radio shack and bought two bucks worth of
wire, a battery, and a lightbulb. Remember, Jimi
Hendrix was doing things on stage and in the
studio twenty or thirty years before they became
standard. That is one the reasons why we are so
amazed by the man. He did more for the electric
guitar as an instrument than all the 1960's
players combined. He was the first Artist to fuse
Blues,Rock,Jazz,and soul into a style that is
copied by everyone. Also,Hendrix used the most
primitive effects by todays standards.When I hear
Billy Corgan,Eddie Van Halen,and even all that
light poppy stuff,I hear Hendrix...If you are the
next Hendrix than I salute you.
