(1) DID YOU KNOW THAT JIMI NEVER PLAYED A LICK OF
LEAD GUITAR BEFORE CHAS "TAUGHT" HIM IN SEPTEMBER
'66? BY ALL ACCOUNTS , JIMI WAS NOTHING MORE THAN
A RHYTHM GUITARIST/SHOWMAN.
(2) EARLY "GENIUS" CLAIMS SHOULD BE SHARED WITH
THE PRODUCTION/ENGINEERING TEAM OF CHANDLER ,
SIDDLE , ETC. FOR THEIR HUGE SOUND. IN THIS
REGARD , THE EXPERIENCE HAD AN ADVANTAGE OVER
CREAM BECAUSE STIGWOOD DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO PRODUCE
A ROCK BAND.HAD CREAM HAD PROPER PRODUCTION ON
THEIR FIRST ALBUM , THEY WOULD HAVE BLOWN JIMI
BACK TO SATURN WITH THEIR OBVIOUSLY SUPERIOR
MUSICIANSHIP.ONLY A FOOL WOULD DISAGREE.
(3)IT IS MUCH EASIER TO "TAKE THE GUITAR
SOMEWHERE ELSE" WITH A LOT OF PSYCHEDELIC
GIBBERISH THAN IT IS TO INTELLIGENTLY IMPROVISE
ON THE VARIOUS BLUES (OR JAZZ) FORMS AS ERIC
DID.
(4)"I DON'T LIVE TODAY" - SIMULATED WAH-WAH
EFFECTS - NOT THE DEVICE.JIMI ADMITS THAT HE
FIRST HEARD THE WAH-WAH ON CREAM'S "BRAVE
ULYSSES" SINGLE , THEN USED IT ON "MIDNIGHT
LAMP".THESE ARE HIS WORDS QUOTED IN CAESAR
GLEBBEK'S BOOK ON JIMI BY JIMI HIMSELF - ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION?
