_ [B] Today's definition of a guitar player is different than _ _ the 60s or 70s [G] definition.
When we say someone is the best, _ _ _ _ today a lot of kids think it means technically, [A] you know.
I mean, you can play with [Abm] two hands, you can, you [A] know, _ [N] you can do all this stuff, you're good.
_ But that doesn't make you good.
Jimi Hendrix by those standards was not _ nearly _ the best.
[C] Even at the time there were guys who were faster, Alvin Leans, [Am] Johnny Winter, there
were faster [G] players, there were shorter players, _ but [E] nobody _ _ invented _ [N] a style quite so strongly
as Jimi Hendrix.
And for me, _ being the best is being the first and being the best at that.

_ [D] _ _ [B] Jimi Hendrix was _ probably my earliest _ _ _ _ influence, _ musical influence.
He was not _ _ really a guitar influence for me because he influenced me musically long before
I even played guitar.
_ _ I was influenced by that music _ _ _ [Eb] and I was a drummer at the time, I was a young kid. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ Jimi playing with his teeth and [B] playing on one leg and burning his guitar, these things
were not [Ab] really expressions of his emotional [Db] dedication to the music.
They were _
[Ab] entertainment ploys of the time.
As a matter of fact, it wasn't Jimi who thought about [Db] burning his guitar, it was Arodi who
thought about burning his guitar.
[Gb] And the way that that happened was they were playing at the Monterey Pop Festival and they
knew that The Who was going to smash their equipment.
And of [Eb] course nobody wanted to go on after The Who, The Who didn't want to go on after
Jimi and Jimi didn't want to go on after [B] The Who.
I think what ended up happening is Townsend went on before Jimi and [A] they smashed their equipment.
So [G] Arodi came into the dress room and he said, [B] _ if they broke their equipment, why don't you
burn [A] your guitar?
And someone said, that's a great idea, you know, have you got any lighter fluid?

_ There's a red house for [F] me on the bay, _ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
where my baby stays.
_ [D] _ _
He did [Abm] one blues song, _ with the possible exception of maybe covers [A] that he would do of Blue Suede
Shoes or Johnny B.
Goode.
And _ he played one blues song and he played it very well.
I mean, just _ amazing lines.
But that's his expressiveness coming out.
It wasn't that he was performing a blues to blow [E] anybody's mind.
He was _ _ expressing in blues the way he expressed in his music.
But the basis of Jimi's playing was rhythm and blues.
