What Guitarists Remind You Of SRV Or Hendrix?

not to digress too much but seeing Kronos Quartet do purple haze live laid out the meaning of psychodelic. Jimmy would have been proud.

I saw the Experience live at, I think, Masonic Auditorium in 1968. There was a problem with RI and Jimi's amps picked up a local AM radio news/talk show which then boomed across the hall. He looked confused and turned to fiddle with the amps and even wacked one a couple times with his guitar. We all thought it was part of the show.

Fast forward to about 5 years ago at a used record store in Ann Arbor, MI, and on the wall was a black and white photo of Jimi at Masonic and he was just starting to look over his shoulder at the stack of Marshalls as if to say, "What the f--k!". I almost had an acid flashback when seeing that picture!

richard lloyd (all)......larry coryell(the pre eleventh house stuff on vanguard) the real great escape is the most overlooked guitar record of the '70's.....

Azjake,
I believe you're wrong despite you saw Jimi live.
He's still a guitar idol that continues to live in the hearts and fingers of a large number of today's guitarists.

Jonny Lang and Ian Moore both have Stevie 'Rave On' string tendencies. Ian Moore's 'Ian Moore' CD/album is fabulous.
I was lucky enough in life to not only see SRV but also expereince him early in his career in a band called 'The Nightcrawlers' and hung out with him after a show in Dallas. If yo get the chance read the book 'Caught in the Crossfire' - about his life.
