      Okay, I'll be THAT guy.
      First, spell the man's name right, he earned it. Secondly, that buzzy, modern compressed sound is not appropriate for playing Jimi. Guthrie nailed a lot of the licks though. To be honest, Jimi's tone seems to stump most of today's players. It could be that Hendrix made sure you could hear his beloved Stratocaster more than the amp melting on the back line. Aficionados who've listened to thousands of hours of Hendrix (I know you're out there) would notice the difference in tone. Still, for real, I am totally amazed every time I see one of Guthrie's videos, but this "Jimmy tribute" sort of missed the mark for me.

    Amazing playing, and really nailed most of these. I didn't think the Jimi and Yngwie parts really sounded like them specifically, but just more general fuzz blues (with some shreddy parts) and a general neoclassical shred lead.

From the attack, to even pick noise (which is really evident on players like Scofield). That said, G2 is an amazing stylist in his own right, and has a sound and style that is as uniquely his own as the greats that he can effortlessly impersonate. My only regret is that he didn't include SRV. :(
