  1. Stevie Ray Vahaughn or Jimmy Hendrix?

    Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan both did great versions of "little wing." Jimi wrote the song, but Stevie did a stunning instrumental cover of it. With Jimi, It's all about improvisation. With Stevie, It's all about technical skill. Joe Satriani did a version that sounded almost exactly like Stevie's. And Steve Vai also did a good cover. But all in all, I cannot choose between Jimi's or Stevie's.

  2. Well to my understanding, you can download all you want, as long as you dont "share" the music. "Sharing" meaning uploading. So if anyone is uploading from you, then there is a slight possibility that you might hear a knock. ::

  3. Well of course I'm gonna say Hendrix. Just listen to Machine Gun. :: :rockon:

    Here's a site explaining some of it.

    Of all the recordings of Hendrix in concert, "Machine Gun" best displays Jimi's immense talent and his brilliant usage of effects. Striving to convey the terror of war, Hendrix pushed himself and his equipment to the limit as he built a towering and complex sonic sculpture. Notes plucked on Jimi's black Stratocaster travelled through his effects and amplification, emerging only after being transformed into harrowing, extreme sounds that were unlike any others ever created with any musical instrument.
  4. Here's some of my favorite Hendrix lyrics.

    Red House - Jimi Hendrix

    There's a Red House over yonder

    That's where my baby stays

    There's a Red House over yonder, baby

    That's where my baby stays

    Well, I ain't been home to see my baby,

    in ninety nine and one half days.

    'Bout time I see her,

    Wait a minute something's wrong here

    The key won't unlock the door.

    Wait a minute something's wrong baby,

    Lord, have mercy, this key won't unlock this door,

    something's goin' on here.

    I have a bad bad feeling

    that my baby don't live here no more.

    That's all right, I still got my guitar

    Look out now . . .

    I might as well go on back down

    go back 'cross yonder over the hill

    I might as well go back over yonder

    way back over yonder 'cross the hill,

    (That's where I came from.)

    'Cause if my baby don't love me no more,

    I know her sister will!

    :laughing:
