Ok, here's a quote taken directly off the insert
from the Jimi Hendrix: Blues album, "During his
tenure with Little Richard, Hendrix befriended
[Albert] King during a stop in East St. Louis.
King showed him some of his fingerings and the
way he bent strings horizontally rahter than
vertically."

What is horizontal bending? I've never heard of it
before. How can you bend a string horizontally?
Anyone have any idea?

Also, about Voodoo Chile, I have the cd with all
the takes up to the final cut. The first one
sounds nothing like the last. He came up with it
on his own.
