Jimi Hendrix - Revisited
Jimi Hendrix - Revisited
In the 70 one of my heros was Jimi Hendrix. I loved the way he used his guitar to create new and interesting sounds.
In the 2010:th I have redescovered his music with help of Steinar Gregertsen and his album "Standing Next To A Mountain".
Now I realize that Mr. Hendrix was not just about playing the guitar, which he did like a god, but the songs he composed are really, really good!
If you also need a reminder I would like to recommend Mr. Steinar Gregertsens album
"Standing Next To A Mountain" A Tribute to the Music of Jimi Hendrix!
Listen to a compilation at YouTube

PS! I'm just a listener of good music and Mr. Gregertsen and Mr Hendrix sure fits in that category!

I second that emotion! I have had my fill of Jimi Hendrix tribute albums with the same stale riffs aping Jimi, but Steinar has come up with something completely different as he gives the songs his own original treatment. I like his YouTube video which features 30 seconds from each of the songs on the album! More artists ought to do something like that (unless they don't want you to notice that all of their songs sound the same. )

Steinar's music has gotten great reviews every time I've seen it mentioned in publication.

Thanks for asking, Mitch. Unfortunately, there's not much "grit and growel" coming from me these days, only "whining"..
I have a bad case of "guitar shoulder" (or something), got it in late June and it's only become worse, even after three different anti-inflammatory cures and a month of physiotherapy. The shoulder isn't "frozen", I have full mobility in it, it just hurts like a real bad toothache and has spread to the whole left side of my back. So I can't play any lap steel at all, and only short intervals on regular guitar. Done a couple of short gigs since this happened, and only way to get through those was to get high on painkillers..
But I'm off to see a specialist in "athlete's injuries" tomorrow, and at the rates he charges he'd better come up with something good!

Ouch! Sorry to hear it, Steinar. Best wishes for a quick and full recovery.

Steinar, if you can, please look into the Alexander Technique and if there is a practitioner in your area.Steinar Gregertsen wrote:Thanks for asking, Mitch. Unfortunately, there's not much "grit and growel" coming from me these days, only "whining"..

Ron,- tomorrow I'll have a thorough ultrasound scan, and I also have an appointment at an X-ray center in December. Hopefully they'll reveal if there's anything more serious going on.
Mike,- I checked the Alexander Technique a while back, after another friend suggested it. Unfortunately the nearest practitioner is in Oslo, which is approx 4,5 hour bus ride from where I live.

If all turns out well after the testing, look into this book: http://www.pedrodealcantara.com/indirect-procedures/
It is an awesome book and I recommend it, Indirect Procedures: A Musician's Guide to the Alexander Technique by Pedro de Alcantara.
I hope you feel better soon.
