None of that means jack **** unless you know what you're doing. Hendrix took an awful lot of **** from other places like motown and funk. If hendrix didn't know what he was doing specifically, the players whose licks he was modifying and using certainly did.

You gotta start somewhere, and blindly enthusing about the uselessness of theory is never going to be that place.
