the riff is structured in a particular way, a part of the riff is actually similar to foxy lady, another part is not, and it is the one that is attributed to Bill Parkinson, but it must be specified that no song with that riff was ever published before Mandrake Root, except Foxy Lady. Parkinson says he wrote the riff, but there is no proof that this is true.
Lot of Truth here 😊😊. Musicians always learn from each other. Yes they use their Riffs at times. Part of the scene. They all meet many guitar players. And absorb stuff. No biggie. Take care 👍👋✌️✌️
Along the same lines, since Clapton was called God by the British, but Jack Bruce said that when he first heard Clapton, he thought "he's a master guitarist. But Clapton was a guitarist and Hendrix was a force of nature!" Big difference. As Jeff Beck and others said, since he and Clapton and Green and Blackmore and Lee learned the blues by listening to American records and incorporating them into their act, Hendrix could go further, since he was a black American playing black American music and working on the "chitlin' circuit." Also, as Beck said, "Jimi was so wild and up front, while we were raised in snotty grammar schools and we initially dressed like all the suits in the windows of the men's stores on Main Street," which Hendrix didn't do. Hendrix also brought, as black American acts do (James Brown, the Isley Brothers, et al) an entertainment element and stage act that British acts didn't do.
I like Ritchie Blackmore's honestly. Try to get the truth out of Pagie where he ript off songs or riffs nothing. All bands did and do. I still think in his day he was a top 3 guitarist in the world. Started neoclassical rock music.
