People who go and they buy the same amp Jimi Hendrix had or they play the guitar upside down -- you aint never gonna sound like him because thats not his music. His music was the fact that had a tumultuous relationship with his father that he never got figured out. His music was the fact that had a brother that he absolutely loved and wanted to be with all the time but he was in and out of jail. His music was the fact that he wanted to be accepted by the black community but he wasnt until the very end of his life. Thats his music. The other stuff is just a vehicle. Passions the only thing thats going to make you good at anything. You can learn the technical aspects of anything but that aint going to make you necessarily good or tasteful. Look at how many awful musicians come out of Berklee and all these music schools -- just faceless, mindless musicians that are being churned out under the concept of, like, Well, you know all the theory so there you go, youre good to go. You excel at theory. Like, big deal.
