gotchya. You'd be surprised at how many people think that the Experience were a 'real band'; it was all Jimi and, to a lesser extent, Mitch, aided by Kellgren and Kramer.
Jimi MADE Eddie Kramer's career.

that's a good way to be; I've found that there is inherently good and bad examples in everything - those who create, and then the imitators. It's pretty easy to seperate the good from bad.

I can totally see that - I'm a Neil disciple myself, and the apreggiated chords and the way he staggers notes lends itself to transferring to bass, that mode of playing. At least, it lends a fundamental working knowledge of the fretboard - Neil is def an atypical guitarist, not exactly a 'guitarists' guitarist' but totally created his own unique and identifiable styles.
Neil is one of my absolute favorites in everything he does; he's one of the truly rare 'rock' guitar guys who uses a completely different approach for acoustic playing as opposed to electric.
