Members troyguitar Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 Uli and Yngwie certainly are, but I don't think Gary Moore and John Sykes are terribly Hendrix-ish. Same with Jason Becker, Vinnie Moore, or most of the fusion-y guys like Shawn Lane, Greg Howe, Frank Gambale. They've probably all learned at least a few of his songs, but so has just about everyone who has played lead guitar in the past 30 years...

Members slideroni Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 His influence is inescapable. Kind of the Jesus of electric guitarists.But Derek Trucks is majorly influenced by Duane, Jimi much less.Jack White (ducks and covers) not a lot.

Members mrbrown49 Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 No, but I've noticed common influences to my influences. I grew up listening to alot of music from the 60s and seventies so many of the influences cited go back a generation before hendrix. Mostly old blues guys like Albert king, Muddy, BB etc. Other players I really like (knopfler, Garcia) cite players like chet as influences.

Members FoonkySteve Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 In my youth, my favourite guitarist WAS Satriani. He regularly cites Hendrix as his main influence, and reason for picking up the guitar in the 1st place. I could be wrong, but i think it was the day hendrix died, Joe decided to start playing?? In satch's case, i think he idolises hendrix more for his approach and creativity rather than his actual playing....... if that makes sense. John Mayer - definately, although i hear more srv in his playing than hendrix. My main man - Nuno Bettencourt, doesnt really cite Hendrix as a major influence, but has a hat tip to him in the song 'rest in peace' where he plays a bit of voodo chile in the main riff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danswon Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 i would say yes apart from Johnny Marr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faber Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 only in the sense that there is a before and after Hendrix in the history of electric playing. None of my favourites have a very pronounced direct influence. People like Scofield, Gilmour, Knopfler, Ford, Carlton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members csm Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 i would say yes apart from Johnny Marr Marr WAS influenced by Hendrix -- but not in a manner that led to direct copying of his licks or his sound. Ditto The Edge. Hendrix's spirit of sonic experimentation and innovation made a subtler impact on many players who ended not necessarily sounding like him or explicitly imitating him. The first album Mick Jones (that's Clashy Mick, not Foreigner Guy) ever bought was by Hendrix -- but you hear more of Johnny Thunders or Pete Townshend in MJ's actual playing.

Members tonaldeath Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hendrix got nothing on Randy Rhoads. No, Randy was not influenced by him Dude, whether or not Rhoads was influenced DIRECTLY by Hendrix, doesn't matter. He was influenced by Brian May and Eddie Van Halen, who were absolutely influenced by Hendrix. It's an inescapable truth; Hendrix completely changed the world of rock and roll guitar, and whether directly or indirectly, has influenced every single player to come after him.

Members scuzzo Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hendrix got nothing on Randy Rhoads. No, Randy was not influenced by him cept Jimi could write, he could sing,, and randy would be the first not to even compare him self to Jimi... stay under your bridge,, and you will always be right...

Members noisebloom Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 Not all of them, but many of them. I don't think Iommi has a trace of Hendrix in him -- but of course, someone might be able to pull out an obscure example that is very Hendrix-like. I don't think Jimmy Page was influenced at all by Hendrix, either. It's funny -- I rarely read Page commenting about Hendrix at all. I can't recall what Page thought of him.

Members BlueSky1963 Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 And to answer the OP: No, some of them are contemporaries of Hendrix (Santana, Gibbons, Gilmour, Walsh, Allman, Garcia). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeanoBoy Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 My 'favorite' guitarists come from many areas of Rock, Blues and Country music. Some are early Clapton, of course Jimi, BB and Albert, Early Beck, Mark Knopfler, Duane and Dickey, SRV, Vince Gill, Keith Urban , Peter Green and Mick Taylor to name a few. Only SRV has an obvious stylistic debt to Jimi, although probably owes more to Albert King. Jimi's overall impact can't be denied but if we're talking similar playing styles, few of my 'favorite' cats play like Jimi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blingdogg Posted December 3, 2010 Members Share Posted December 3, 2010 Hendrix is my favorite guitarist, and some others I really like were heavily influenced by him. Robin Trower definitely was influenced. And so was Eddie Hazel from Funkadelic. And Eric Gales. As for Jimmy Page... I don't know, really. And I wish I could find out what his opinion was of Hendrix too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members imbuedblue Posted December 3, 2010 Members Share Posted December 3, 2010 A lot of my favorite guitarists either influenced Hendrix, or were indirectly influenced by the possibilities he opened up rather than by his playing per se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imbuedblue Posted December 3, 2010 Members Share Posted December 3, 2010 I don't think Jimmy Page was influenced at all by Hendrix, either. It's funny -- I rarely read Page commenting about Hendrix at all. I can't recall what Page thought of him. Here's an excerpt from a 1993 interview in Guitar World: GW: Speaking of Eddie Kramer, who worked closely with Jimi Hendrix: Did you ever jam with Hendrix?Page: No. And I never saw him play, either. This is a good story actually, back in the late sixties, I went right from working with The Yardbirds, to touring and recording with Zeppelin, and that kept me very busy. In the first two years of any band, you just work solidly; if you're going to make an impression that's what you have to do. We were no different. In fact, we probably worked for three years straight. Anyway, every time I came back from tour and Hendrix was playing somewhere, I would always say to my self, "Oh I'm just so exhausted, ill see him next time". I just put it off and of course, there ultimately never was a next time. I'm really, really upset with myself for never seeing him. I really wanted to hear him. Now, did I ever meet him? I did actually go into a club in New York called Salvation, and he was there, but he was totally out of it. He didn't really know who anybody was -- he was barely conscious. Somebody was just kind of holding him up. It is just kind of a shame that I never really had a chance to talk with him or hear him... I heard his records, naturally, but it would've been a thrill to see how he worked things out on stage. That's quite another ballgame, as you know.GW: As a producer, what did you think of his records?Page: I thought they were excellent. Oh yeah. Jimi's drummer, Mitch Mitchell was also a man inspired. He never played drums like that before or since. He played some incredible stuff!!GW: Although your playing styles were different, you and Jimi were similar in that you both tried to achieve these great aural landscapes.Page: Well, there were a lot of people going in that direction. Look at the Beatles. Here was a band that went from "Please Mr. Postman" to "I am the Walrus" in a few short years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
