The ongoing exercise is me realize that I never even attempted to learn any Jimi solos before. Weird really as his rhythm parts were everything to me when I started playing.
I'd always kind of assumed that that his solos were this unachievable apex of divine inspiration and fire which was pointless trying to replicate.... that I didn't want to sound like a dad in pub covers band.
But now I AM a dad in a covers band (sort of) I've been lifting the lid on a few tracks and finding it loads of fun to understand a couple of the habits and tricks he used.
