Yep he couldn't read music. I read the autobiography of Miles Davis and he said that Jimi was the most purely talented musician he ever met. Not bad coming from Miles.

I have "Hendrix"... the movie. It's pretty interesting, and HILARIOUS to see someone try to act like Jimi Hendrix himself. Very funny, a good thing to rent, but I wouldn't buy it... I got it as a christmas present from my dad.

SRV, and hendrix were both amazing guitarists. I really like fast guitar like Yngwie Malmsteen and Eddie Van Halen as well as the bluesy guitar by my other two favs.

Get bass songs by Stu Hamm. You'll be blown away.

JOHNNY RAMONE! no solos, three chords, two minutes a song. You can't compete with that kind of shit. :wink: Seriously, my favorite guitarists are Hendrix, Chuck Berry, and probably Toni Iomi of Black Sabbath.
Peace,

I can't choose! They all are amazing, but it's not like they're anything special. My lesson teacher is real great too. Yes, my guitar lesson teacher Matt is the greatest guitar player. All players have their own strong points. Actually that is true with everything, which is why I can never say somthing is my favorite (ex: colors, bands, footbags, guitars).

my guitar teacher is good. He plays classical, jazz, shred, and can play blues but doesnt usually. That means he plays everything and plays it super fast. He knows everything about theory and tries to teach me but i dont LISTEN I JUST PLAY

Matt, almost all bands don't do the vocals and the music at the same time.

Normally, when they have all the music done, they'll play it back through the vocalist's headphones as he sings into the mic.
