D: Smooth, Laid Back Solos
E: Extreme String Bending
D: Smooth, Laid Back Solos.
Jimi Hendrix used his innovative techniques and cutting-edge technology to create a distinct style that blended elements of blues, rock, and psychedelia. While he did use a fuzz box made by Roger Mayer to add more heaviness and density to his guitar sound, he did not rely on distortion to further distort his blues influences. Instead, he incorporated other techniques such as feedback, extreme string bending, and unconventional use of effects pedals to create his unique sound. However, he also incorporated smooth and laid back solos in some of his songs, which served as a contrast to his more intense and experimental passages.
