I can’t help but wonder if the de-tuning is where SRV got his inspiration from, but I think he used to detune a whole step instead of a half. Jimi also used to use some very unusaul time signatures, like he used on the improvisation at the end of his Woodstock appearance. I sure wish he hadn’t died so young, as I can’t hardly imagine how he would have been bending our perceptions of how music is played in the last 20 years or so.
Nah, man… Hendrix played a whole step down at Monterey. He played a 1/2 step at Altanta Pop Festival. Check the concerts and you can tell the difference.
Ive been playing guitar long enough to know what the difference is between concert pitch E and E Flat and Monterey is E Flat. I have a guitar in E and a guitar in Ef. When I play along with Monterey its alway Ef. Want to hear D? Machine Gun is in D. Berkeley is in E concert pitch. Monterey is Ef

he had been drinking and was playing kinda sloppy in my opinion but its still great of course
gibson flying v+ jimi hendrix= awesome!!!!!
SRV idealized Hendrix. Hendrix played a whole step down @ Montery, but he would more play 1/2 a step down.
But they both got it from the old Blues players, Blues guitarist usually do that.
how do you base a lick or solo off a chord?
to my knowledge by hitting the notes that are in the chord, arpeggios.
0:36 – 0:57 pink floyd borrow this to use in ‘echoes’
yeh, some one tell us.
oh ok
scales, pentetonic scales mostly.
Sorry..He played a half step down at Monterey. He was a whole step down at the Fillmore concerts.
