I meant to specify the MAJOR festival guitar destructions. At the Marquee Club 1967, at the very worst; he lit a "j" !! Sorry !

I remember J.Hendrix 3/2/67 playing the Marquee Club w/ a Sunburst strat. Check the "burning guitar" sequences. Jimi "quick-switched" guitars just BEFORE the song prior to "the burn". He'd never burn any of his favorites ! Don’t forget the occasional Sunburst.

It's simply ridiculous and distracts from what he actually gave to world of music. Could it be that there exists a guitarist today that discovers something that is so fundamental to the academics of music? No, I don't think so. There are limitations that not even Jimi Hendrix can overcome and one is rewriting the history of musical theory and or engineering. Give him what he deserves; he implemented a sound that was unheard at the time and is difficult to replicate…because we are not Jimi. discovered a new scale or mode.

I have played his songs...I would say Hendrix should be remembered as a potential musical genius, but considering how short his career really was, we may never know for sure. So I base my arguments from what we have of his work. As a guitarist I would say he was good, but as a musician and performer I would say he was legendary, but not guitarist. In other words, if Jimi Hendrix had picked up a paint brush instead, he would be remembered as well for painting...he was an obsessive, and an artist. And that is not unique, plenty of souls before him shared this, Michael Angelo, Bach, even Bruce Lee all had unending amounts of pure passion and all were good at conveying such in their chosen mediums. Confining Hendrix to the category of guitarist is actually stifling his true commitment and obscures his passion. Favorite song of his, "One Rainy Wish." The chord comment is simply ludicrous; all chord arrangements that are not dissonance had been discovered long before Mr. Hendrix came about. Could you imagine someone being able to make a similar statement about a guitarist who has yet to be born….no, I think not.

His mastery of chords may never be duplicated again. Go to you tube and find a video of Jimi playing an acoustic guitar. You will see what I mean.

That seems a little over the top, but I am not an expert on Hendrix at all, and I can tell you are. Are there some recordings available now in which one might hear an example that?
