You don't have to copy guitar solos exactly or even at all to 'sound' like or be influenced by another player. Everybody sounds like somebody else for awhile ... some, a lot longer.
I haven't actively learned an entire solo in 20 years. Licks here and there, a chord voicing, a song, a concept ... sure. But I can tell you (and probably show you) from where and from whom I've gotten every three note sequence or chord voicing I've ever (and probably ever will) put together. You can find every - and I mean every - SRV lick in one Hendrix tune or another (and a whole lot of Albert and Freddie King tunes as well). But Stevie applied it to straight, Texas blues playing (at a time the blues was not so popular here) whereas JH was way more psychedelic, hard rock, experimental and even jazzy and funky (though it all came from his heavy blues and R&B upbringing). SRV had great feel, huge tone and amazing commitment to what he played (and sang). Rarely has there been a more confident player - even though he's totally derivative. It doesn't matter. Ain't nothin' new under the sun. It's all about how you contextualize it. This post has been edited by klasaine: Apr 16 2015, 04:31 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
