Apply the acid test:

What did music, particularly the sound of the guitar sound like before and after "Hey Joe" in 1966?

Cream's Disraeli Gears didn't come out until November of 1967, and Sunshine of Your Love is clearly Clapton being heavily influenced by Hendrix (apparently they were good friends from before Hendrix hit it big to Jimi's death--Clapton covered "Little Wing" on the "Layla" album just before Hendrix died).

That's the acid test.

Ty Cobb used to rant and rave about Babe Ruth being a lousy baseball player who didn't understand the game and that any idiot could hit home runs. But that acid test? Cobb never won a World Series championship, and only played in one. Ruth was the anchor around which the Yankees were built and won 7 World Series titles (one with the Red Sox). Who was right? Clearly Ruth.

very good lesson, really easy to transcribe and pick up on, this will be my new warmup and cool down riff

Thanks for proving my point.

Actually, Cobb gets a raw deal from history. Only about half the stories about how crazy and mean he was were true. The other half, even the ones Ken Burns portrayed as fact, were fantasy. Cobb was far from the ignorant redneck he's portrayed as. He was an outsider to his teammates, more likely to visit the museums and opera house in the cities he was in than the bars. He and Christy Mathewson were good friends--Cobb pulled Mathewson out of the mustard gas test chamber when something when tragically wrong.

He didn't yank his roommate out of the tub saying "I have to be first". He didn't challenge Honus Wagner in the 1908 WS (Wagner backed Cobb up on that). But he did pistol whip a guy he thought insulted him, and would not play with or against Black players. As for spiking people, he rarely did it, but the fear was a tactic. John McGraw, OTOH, as a player would spike the defender every single time, but isn't vilified the way Cobb is. And he did beat the tar out of a New York Highlander (now Yankees) fan who had no hands.

While he hated Ruth when both were in the game, he came to appreciate Ruth as a warm and decent guy who wanted to be liked after they were both out of the game. Being a millionaire (baseball's first player) he was quietly very generous supporting other ex-players who were down and out.

I'm not saying Cobb was a nice guy, only that the "devil" characterization wasn't accurate. Rogers Hornsby was never portrayed as being as bad as Cobb but everyone who knew him described him as a pr***, through and through, which, apparently, he was.

+1

Hi Solid, that is a great sound he gets there, in the context of the video, I really do like it for the studio, bedroom, in fact anywhere when playing alone, not in a live band situation. Unless you are solely the rhythm player. It would get lost in the mix.
Yes, Hendrix used that sound but in moments when he played rhythm and chording progressions but soon moved to a harder sound when things got heavy and he needed more projection.
But I do actually love that tone in the right ambient piece.
Not constantly, someone trying to bang that tone out, where it doesn't fit, for instance in some fairly hard, lively blues song, like EC keeps doing with his Strat.
Horses for courses in my view.
