"'I started playing the guitar about 6 or 7, maybe 7 or 8 years ago. I was influenced by everything at the same time, that’s why I can’t get it together now.' When you listen to Jimi Hendrix, one of the last things you’re ever likely to think is that he couldn’t 'get it together' as a guitarist. Hendrix made the characteristically modest statement in 1968, in a free form discussion about his influences with Rolling Stone’s Jann Wenner and Baron Wolfman. 'I used to like Buddy Holly,' he said, 'and Eddie Cochran and Muddy Waters and Elvin James… B.B. King and so forth.' But his great love was Albert King, who 'plays completely and strictly in one way, just straight funk blues.'”
