I make it a point to have proper spelling and grammar and I fucking love Berklee. Great job with the tabs dude, GG is a monster from another world, and it looked REAL accurate to how the original would play it. I was waiting for his take on Petrucci...I'm sure it's ridiculous.

      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.

      english lessons or appreciation on who's the best WTF shredder, I simply does not like the guy's energy field, his lack of humility, everything that you describe outstanding about him, always playing deprived of worthy musical context and true feelings according to me, moreover, I notice, through your partial comments, an obvious lack of culture concerning most lead or jazz , jazz fusion guitarists, let's say for the past 80 years, a Charlie Christian or a Wes Montgomery, so melodious chanting lines, or a joe Pass as well, for the eldest, did you even hear about any of them, I sincerly doubt it, more recently I could name dozens of better guitarists than he, in a true artistic way ! Now, the best thing you can do and benefit for yourself is expand your musical knowledge throughout time and space, and afterwards you surely be thankful to me, while stopping bothering me !

    Close your eyes and listen to this whole video - and you can just completely picture the actual person he's impersonating perfectly. It's truly uncanny - like Rich Little of the guitar world. 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. :(
