One of the greatest Jimi tributes I've ever heard. Just wait till the end of the solo. This was from Chicago's 8th album. Terry Kath pays tribute to his friend. Jimi brought Chicago on tour with him as the opening act around 1968 before the first Chicago album was released. Jimi and Mitch Mitchell used to watch them play when they were the house band at the Whiskey A Go Go in LA. (Pics are from TK fanpage, I asked for permission). I'm just a fan!!

Listen to his work on Song of the Evergreen at the end, unbelievable but they just used it as the vamp! They should have extended it.

roy buchanan live austin tx he is another super soulful grea. played 50s telecaster incredable to watch him command attention from anyone he played with and the crowd . check out " THE MESSIAH WILL COME AGAIN ' pretty much clean blistering blues ,country ,rock, he would be the crossroads kid who wins the devil . he played tribute to hendrix without feedback try to copy his riffs used his palm to bend the notes while turning the tone knob , he used a pick and his other three fingers he sounds like more than one guitar.

I saw Chicago Transit Authority as the opening act of a Jimi Hendrix concert in Indianapolis before the first CTA album was released. I was blown away by the band, but especially by Terry Kath's performance. He was a stunningly good guitarist. As soon as their album was released, I spent my allowance to buy it. A double album? Who'd ever heard of such a thing? I listened to it constantly -- and still do.

As a young guitar player in the late sixties early seventies there were a handful of songs I would play over and over. Voodoo Chile, Crossroads, I'm So Glad, Whippin Post to name a few...and 25 or 6 to 4 and I'm a Man by Chicago.

I never knew this was a Hendrix tribute. Just learned that reading the comments etc. here. I listened 2 it countless times back when it was new but didn't appreciate it (or Kath) until I grew to appreciate Hendrix. I was in grade school when Hendrix died. I thought his music (then) was so much noise, mainly because my parents were more the Mitch Miller types. Ironically, Mitch was the guy who ran COLUMBIA records up until just before a new guy came in & signed Blood, Sweat & Tears and...CHICAGO!

Opinions on the artistic expression called music are subjective opinions that vary from person to person (of course). Steve Vai's "For the Love of God" is amazing- and I would imagine that any other of his slow songs are as amazing. I have the album with that song on it- except for that sing, the thing is an unlistenable turd, TO ME. I've watched probably a dozen videos of Jeff Beck on here because I was SO curious to see how good he was since people like him. I have "Blow by Blow" album too.

Steve Vai is the professional player that I dislike the most (along with Jeff Beck). He has no feel, no soul and his whammy bar needs to be removed. I think that if you practice along with songs for 5 to 7 years (or 15 like I have) you do develop your own style _IF_ you are focusing on developing your own style - instead of trying to play someone else's stuff from tablature. Stevie Ray Vaughan is why I bought a guitar. Now that is FEEL & SWING! :)
