he's like a lot of really good guitarists. They make it look effortless. Not comparing the two, but E. Van halen is really bad about it.

...and he's playing a V ...sick

Back when I was in junior high school, for my B-day my mom got me banjo lessons. Ever since watching the first intro to The Beverly Hillbillies, I was hooked on that sound and rapidity.

So I was stoked when I walked into the studio for my first lesson. I deflated as the guy told me he taught 4 string Banjo, not 5. His style was chord strumming.

I was bummed out. I stuck with it because my Mom's heart was in the righteous place, but I never liked it.

Pickin is hard, man. I can finger pick a guitar, but a banjo is a little odd to me.

Ever listen to Alison Krauss and Union Station? Some amazing sounds and fine pickers.

He made up his own tuning... ( Rain song)
He can play several different styles of music
Hes the best rhythm guitarists of all time
Hes one of the best finger pickers around

He plays a wide variety of music and its all phenominal.
As good as hendrix was, alot of his music sounds the same..

You have 2 basic types of musicians. Technicians, and artists. Both hendrix and page are what most people would consider an artist. Neither of them were the best at what they did TECHNICALLY by any means. You can easily find blues guitarists, and rhythm guitarists that are far more technical, and using more advanced techniques than either of them ever used.

In the realm of great guitar players, their music is well respected, but they're actual playing is sloppy compared to a lot. That isn't sayng that it wasn't good, but the emphasis on perfection isn't there compared to a Van Halen, Mark Knopfler of Dire straits, Joe Satriani, George Lynch of Doken, and many others.

So, all that being said, Hendrix and Page's music have a lot more feel, and seems very raw, and that's what we like about it because it's easily relateable.

...and yes Crackerjax, I've heard of them, and I've actually met their mandolin player, and he's a flake but None the less a great picker.

Jason Vieaux is an amazing acoustic guitarist... a true artist.
