Why is it such a shame Yngwie did that? He's every bit as good as Hendrix and is also technically better. He's also every bit as good of a performer as Hendrix ever was (Ever been to one of his live shows?(I doubt it)) Don't get me wrong I love Hendrix too. Besides Yngwie has a way better clean tone than Hendrix ever did thanks to technology. And anyone that says Yngwie does not play with feeling has NEVER EVER giving him a seriouse listen. And all of that BS about a person playing with more feeling with one bent note than a person who plays a bunch of fast notes is CRAP!
(How come no one ever says that about a symphony) Yngwie does all three (plays bent notes for long periods of time, plays fast, and has also played with a symphony before). To be able to play with a symphony tells a lot about a musician.
I started learning guitar because of Randy Rhoads..but Yngwie J. Malmsteen is my biggest influence.
