I go for the melody of a song first..and then the guitar playing. I'm
not into guitar hero's, such as Hendrix, unless a
solo can fit properly into the song. When Hendrix hit it big then, I
was bored, and I continue to be with his music.
"Red House" is a great blues song..but it's the same old formula that
was used in the 1950's. "Purple Haze" and his other songs do
absolutely nothing for me. I'm more interested in how bands play
together well, such as The Beatles,
Badfinger, The Raspberries, Cheap trick, REO Speedwagon..the band that
backed Tommy Bolin..and his 2 solo albums, etc, etc. These bands write
great tunes. I was bored with guitar soloing..in the beginning..back
when it first started. Grand Fuck and UFO have some great tunes, (as
examples) as well as the soloing. JMO. Sure, there are...
