If anybody is intentionally getting peoples goats lately, its Bob Savage... have you noticed, the caustic sarcasm lately is not completely usual Not tryin to start anything, Bob's great I think I read something about Jimi saying that he liked a really loud and filling sort of sound. That he didn't like bands at the time that used a really spikey sort of sound. I'd like to think that Jimi really wanted to reach the people, and that he knew that lower frequencies would help the people feel the greatness of his music.

Members blargh Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 My favorite Hendrix tone is on axis bold as love, I heard somewhere he used sound city amps (early hiwatts) on that album, any truth to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cobrahead1030 Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Originally posted by cloudnine I'm learning Dee at the moment, a lot harder to get it smooth than it looks at one time i could play that fairly well...those high harmony parts after the fast open pulloffs on the G, D, and A strings are where it got sloppy for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lefchr Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Originally posted by -=MYK=- Jimi was a drug addict. I don't think he had the ability to care about much more than his next high.

Members Tonemeister87 Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Originally posted by cloudnine Well considering the limited amount of options and how limited gear was then, they didnt have much choice. But I think you're right AND wrong - Jimi probably just wanted to play, but he is notorious for being a perfectionist both in playing and the sound that went on the records and the effects he used. I think an 18 year-old's opinion 23542532 years later is definately one to trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitar shmoe Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 I have tons of Hendrix stuff audio and video....he definitely CARES about tone...that's why, when he heard and used Clapton's Marshall (also the Who) he went and got a coupla stacks...he then went to Mayer and had a bunch of toys and fuzz stuff made.... then on to uni vibe/wah etc...he saw sound as color and pictures...a very BRIGHT, SMART and CREATIVE guy...he did get a bit 'sloppy' in his playing however and in some gigs it really shows!..(probably the drug influence) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Burningleaves Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Originally posted by cloudnine MYK should be banned or at least warned, but unfortunately, the moderation here is {censored} at best. Guys like MYK are part of the reason why I like posting here. If you got rid of people like MYK, this place would be no better than the FDP. Hendrix def' cared about his tone. He was a tone and gear freak. Back then the technology involved for live playing was {censored}ty. He along with every other "top" live act just had to make the best of it. I dont think Hendrix was a drug addict. He prol' smoked plenty of weed and drank many a fill but that was as common back then as it is today.

Members Loghead Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Has anyone noticed that Cloudnine, who used to be reasonably fair-minded, has turned into a humorless, intolerant, self-righteous, little bitch?

Members charlie13033 Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 He was using 2 full marshall stacks, a fuzz tone, and a wah pedal -- thats it. He was constantly adjusting the tone on his strat on every song. He also use the wah in different stationary positions to adjust his tone too. You can't appreciate Jimi's sound without hearing him live. He literally made that guitar sing! I only imagine what he would be doing today if he were still alive! It is too bad that drugs got the better of one of the greatest guitarists in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
