 I played guitar for years and Jimi Hendrix was one of my first idols, and in retrospect, he will always be number 1, Jimi Hendrix was simply a natural talent, I have not seen another guitarist who plays that way, they can play faster, more technical, all you want, but nobody had that innate fluency to express himself, he never repeated a song live, all his interpretations are unique, the only one who made me feel something similar to Jimi Hendrix was Jason Becker.

 Exactly, we are of the same tribe 🤝🎸😎 
 For those who don't know him, Jason Becker as well as Finney suffers from ALS, his career was very short, with only 20 years he stopped playing due to the disease although he has continued composing by computer.

Even so he left us jewels like this one:

 The song air is amazing, I remember to barroco. Y todo el disco te parte la cabeza  
 Es increíble, si te interesa también toco en un grupo llamado Cacophony junto con Marty Friedman. 
 Es tremendo, no lo había escuchado. Son dos virtuosos pero becker es dueño de una parte de mi corazón. Sabes si tenía la guitarra escalopada?  
 Los guitarristas que “abusan” del tapping suelen usar mástiles planos, no tengo constancia de ello 
 1 Hendrix 2 Stevie Ray Vaughan 
 Stevie Ray Vaughan another phenomenon, also very influenced by Hendrix 🫡  
 And what about an Irishman late Rory Gallagher? 🔥 
 About eight or so months before his death I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble open for Joe Cocker in Jackson, Mississippi.  Stevie played his show, and then played lead for Crocker. 

IT WAS SPIRITUAL


 
 🐐 
 He was entertaining, a great showman, and a brilliant guitarist .. 🎸
