OH BROTHER. Jimi Hendrix was on a different plane than these guys. They are schoolboys compared to jimi. Who are they copying anyhow?

@acefiddle Maybe the question is, "Who was Jimi copying?" _Hey Joe_ is an old folk song - Jimi did a version, the Byrds did a version, a thousand others did versions. Tim O'Brien has a GREAT version - just open your ears. Hendrix played it louder - is that what makes music good? I hope not! These guys could easily afford bigger amps than Jimi ever saw, but they're in a f.ing TENT! "Schoolboys?" Hendrix was no better at guitar than Jerry Douglas is, in my opinion. & listen to the vocal!

@inky960 i agree with u. jimi hendrix was pretty shit technically at guitar. he has all my respect because he was the first one to make a guiytar sound in the way that he made it sound.

@lupaun Yeah! I like that - he *did* show us all how much emotion and "fire" could be channeled from the player's brain into the guitar. No one had done it to that degree before, save maybe Django, but even then it was a different thing. Hendrix was the bomb. But he wasn't "on a different plane" - jeez. There are countless guitarists today who play way beyond where Hendrix had gotten to, imo. Tommy Emmanuel, for one -- imo. Larry Carlton for another. If not better, just as good. IMO. &SRV!

If you haven't heard them do this before. This wasn't ad lib. Check out Jerry Douglas' CD, 'Slide Rule' (rec 1992). Choosing this was a gracious nod of Tim to the 'Hey Joe' track, Jerry & he recorded on that album.

Man, this makes me really regret not going to Greyfox this year. For all you out there who went, how is the new place compared to the hill?

At least 10 times better... possibly 100 times better. Jerry Douglas = unbelieveably awesome.

absolutely, i wonder why folks gave me a thumbs down????

Probably something to do with dissing Hendrix... whatever. Jerry Douglas OWNS Hendrix.

The workshop was supposed to be with Tim O'Brien and Kevin Burke. Burke was going to discuss the finer points of Celtic music. He never showed up. Tim did a great job of holding down the fort, graciously answered questions as best he could and played beautifully. To me it wasn't sleepy. But once Jerry appeared to help out, they jointly blew the roof off the tent. "Hey Joe" was a high point.
