I wonder if he has to pay Eric Johnson for all the licks he uses from him...

I'm not a JB apologist. But I'm quite sure ANY guitar player you name will have ripped someone else's riffs at some point. Just the way it is.

Other than the original greats, like Hendrix, Page and others. Any recent player since the late 70s probably has stolen from someone else.

EJ ripped his fair share of Eric Clapton licks. Even though EJ and JB borrowed heavily from Clapton, all they can do is parrot the licks w/ zero feel. Clapton played that shit on the fly, much like Jimi did.

Their technique is so flawless that when they play the Clapton shit, it loses all the feel/ soul of the original.
Guys like Jimi, EC, Page......their flaws or lack of technique is their style. It's more human and not machine-like.

^ I think I get what you're saying, but I'm not sure I'd call it flawed technique. To me is a less mechanical approach, but intentionally playing vibratos and bends and phrases so that they are unique to the moment rather than just "lick No. 108" pulled from memory and played the same way every time.

JB isn't in EJ mode anymore.

Now he's morphed into an old Mississippi Delta Blews man ...

Yes I understand, was just making a joke.

See my "Stock licks" thread for me asking about this exact concept.

Damn the Internet sarcasm..
I did just check that post out. I honestly don't think ANY player, ever hasn't used a stock riff including the greats from the 60s. They copped Em from those old blues records.

Check out Cream-era live stuff. IMO that's when he was at the top of his game.

 

[paulyc]

I've heard that...it just doesn't move me. I'm not big on Beck either though, so I'm probably not a good judge of what most people like. I'd rather listen to JB or EJ any day over Clapton. Hendrix is another story...

 

[Chester Nimitz]

Thats when Beano was on smack & LSD.

FWIW i always consider Clapton to be top shelf but i hate his endorsement gear.

However his 1990 SLO tone was his best IMO.

That Marshall 4x12 he's playing out of only has 2x12's in it.

Not many still playing [and alive] can say they hung with Hendrix so ...

 

[paulyc]

I dont care who he hung with, I just don't care for his playing

like most of them to varying degrees, but Jimi and Jeff Beck kind stand out to me. True innovators and not so wrapped around the axle of previous bluesmen that it limits them. Every time Jimi did or Beck does something it is like they just changed what they were doing. In the world of guitar I think that is why there are so many guitar players that fall out of favor as they cannot evolve beyond a bunch of cliche blues riffs and licks. I can't remember the guy who said it, but it was something along the lines of "there are no more riffs that can be created as Ritchie Blackmore already play them" or something like that. Some of these guys struggle like the rest of us with original creativity which is vastly different than copying/coping someones stuff.

 

[mdc1mdc11]

btw Bonnamassa is using a bunch of fenders now and not that rig...

 

[mooncobra]

lol he couldn't even HANG with Hendrix....

or this at 6:30 -

that's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Chester Nimitz]

"Hang" meant "hangout" like physically present.


Nobody played like Hendrix except Hendrix.

You're right internet forum guitarists are much more important than Legends.

Hey have you heard about those Blades amps & guitars ?

Just like Hendrix used at Monterrey ...
