J Mascis is probably the best, and most influential, guitar player to come along since the heyday of guitar-gods like Hendrix, Clapton, Page, etc. Go to a live show and see for yourself...

oh man thats what soloing is all about

@902East Never seen a live show (but will do) and I have to agree mate. Considering he used to be a drummer and only started playing the guitar as he, "Didn't like what other people were doing"...... :-)

@12inchvertical Recently you can hear J shred on live versions of 'Mountain Man'. shredding is fine but I prefer to hear a fast fretting hand over a fast picking hand any day, but the shredding in MM works well, I must admit, because J mixes it up w/ other techniques throughout the song and the shredding doesn't lead to wankery as it does for so many other less talented, technical show-offs.

@g0ldbuG J doesn't like playing fast. He laments using a Les Paul to solo on this record because it was 'too easy to play' and he ended up 'playing too fast'. I'm pretty sure J could shred with the best of them if he wanted to. Not that Jimi was a shredder. Both value sound and emotion over technique, which might be why they are compared. for me they are really different and comparing musicians is pretty pointless anyway

@HiFiAwardTour did J play background bells on this track, too?

A diff. between Jimi and J is that Jimi had a fast fret hand (observe the Woodstock or Atlanta Pop footage (like the solo coda for foxy lady)) while J is more of a fast picker w/ the occasional fast fretting like on the end solo of feel the pain. J plays more of a mumbly old man droll these days; it just seems harder for him to maintain the same youthful energy lvl. but this mumble is one of the most unique to come about since Jimi

@902East Influential means that he has influenced others. This means that we can measure his influence by going to the shows of every band /artist since Dinosaur Jr, rather than going to a Dinosaur Jr show. I love J, but I don't hear a lot of his influence Out There.

@TheErikDane People thought Jimi Hendrix was really weird becuase all he did was play his guitar 24/7. Thats some major dedications\ but it paid off. But hell i agree with you. This guy kicks ass and you dont have to eat, sleep, and breathe guitar 24/7 364 days to be great. I practice for about 2-3 hours daily and im above avarage.
