No actually! Provocative perhaps but not meant to offend.

I get the notion, I think we're talking electric heavy rock stuff...

It's a path I've gone along and probably still have an odd bit of in my music.

I used to love stuff like Satriani and Vai but now I see that technical ability is not the same as creative ability. The two may coincide but I try not to confuse them, or be blinded by finger wizardry.

By way of comparison, Hendrix was a creative genius. If he played one note it would be beautiful and it would be individual. You hear one note by him and you know it's Hendrix. I'm not sure that's true of the techno-onanists.

I still enjoy rock, and it may be "heavy", but maybe not in this way... :)

With me, it's jazz. If it's got the creative zing, it's good, otherwise it just seems like a bunch of ****ing off! :(

Yep. I know what you mean. :)
 
Heh, I was going to suggest Street Spirit earlier, simply for the brilliant sound - but figured that it wasn't really a song with a guitar solo so wouldn't count. Glad to see it get mentioned, though. :)

Satriani is technically an excellent musician and sometimes I am in the mood for his music which I then thoroughly enjoy. But he is not Hendrix.
That being said, it is a sometimes thing with soulful blues or amazing jazz being preferred otherwise (amongst other things)
I don't really pay much attention to all the names of all the artists, but I know what I like:cool:.
Pink floyd has some amazing pieces which are lifelong favs. Like echoes for instance to name one(YouTube - David Gilmour in Royal Albert Hall - ECHOES Part 1)
There are 3 clips for the whole piece.

From C0de Post #22, I'd say Steve Vai's Tender Surrender qualifies as creative. Steve Vai playing Little Wing is not "original" in the sense that he didn't write the song. But his interpretation is creative.

I'm no expert, but I can identify most any significant guitar player from a note or two. They all have their own style and touch.

Hopefully this isn't too self-indulgent and hence more to your liking:

Well, David Gilmour is not Hendrix either.

Does every player have to sound like Hendrix? I like the idea of each musician adding something unique. Did you see the Santana/Pat Metheny jam? Both killer players, but it didn't work because their styles are too different.

I never compared Gilmour to Hendrix.
I made the comment about Satriani as he was, according to him on an interview he did, supremely influenced by Hendrix and has let that influence carry through a lot of his music.
I really like a lot of what Jimi played, not all of it, but he was a great, no, stellar player.
