If I was a sleeze, easy to please, I could easily get off on laughing at Jeff Beck when he tries to play Hendrix. Jeff Beck and Ritchie Blackmore were the two biggest hard rock lead guitarists in England at the time. Both of them made a big point of saying they just plugged their guitars into their amplifiers, calling it playing straight, a reference to Jimi Hendrix and his guitar effect inventions, something little known. After Jimi died, Ritchie used a Dr. Q. automatic wah for the first time on "Stormbringer", and listen to Jeff now.
@@ericeverett510 Instead of saying "little known" you should have said I don't know. After Hendrix died, the next day many guitarists put out a video, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, George Harrison, and others. They showed themselves with a Strat strapped on for the first time, talking about Hendrix, and deleting them the next day. Jimi was a United States Air Force radar technician. He saw the invention of the tremolo unit with six individual, two-way adjustable bridges, as having a quality no other stringed instruments had, plugging it into an oscilloscope to tune the harmonics scientifically. He also hired an English electrical inventor to create guitar effects based on radar, having the first phase shifter and other devices. It also allowed more overdubs. Jimi did a lot more, but you don't want to know about it.
