![]() Pretty friggin intense if you think about it. Jimi even gets the Doppler Effect with the Plane flying away. The Neo Classical guys are Great and I like many shredders but they are more 1 Dimensional.īut listen closely a almot thet the end of the song for the machine gun fire but before the airplane flying off into the distance. On this song not only is Jimi doing stuff in the Classical Realm He is also mimmicking Instruments instead of just doing really fast classical inspired lines on the guitar. Jimi takes that aspect further than ANY of the NEO Classical ect Guitarists. Malmsteen alyays quotes he is influenced by claccical ect. Its also obvious in this version of SSB that Jimi could THINK for many different instruments as demonstrated in this song.Īnother thing. In the 16th and early 17th centuries, notably in the secular Italian and English madrigal, chromaticism was used to heighten expressiveness the Italian composer Carlo Gesualdo and some of his contemporaries pushed this tendency to extremes that distorted the perception of modal scale structure. In European medieval and Renaissance music, chromaticism was associated with the practice of musica ficta, which facilitated, and in some instances required, half-tone steps outside the church modes. On the piano keyboard, the black keys represent the 5 chromatic tones that do not belong to the diatonic scale of C major black and white keys together add up to the chromatic scale of 12 tones per octave. I believe Complex Textures, and the like was right up Jimis alley.Ĭhromatic tones in Western art music are the notes in a composition that are outside the seven-note diatonic (i.e., major and minor) scales and modes. His Tristan und Isolde is sometimes described as marking the start of modern music. His advances in musical language, such as extreme chromaticism and quickly shifting tonal centres, greatly influenced the development of classical music. His compositions, particularly those of his later period, are notable for their complex textures, rich harmonies and orchestration, and the elaborate use of leitmotifs-musical phrases associated with individual characters, places, ideas or plot elements. Wagner was Genius and considered by many to be the Originator of Modern Music. Thus the photo I have of Jimi playing an Accordian !!!!!! Strauss was the Waltz King and also did Polkas. Psychedelic is what he meant.īoth Strauss ll and Wagner are Very Different from each other. He also said that he wanted to come out with a New Music that was influenced by Johann Strauss II and Richard Wagner. ![]() I read that he wanted to learn to Read and be able Write out Piano Music. This is where I believe Jimi was headed as far as Experimental. But its hard on the switch and I imagine it aint the greatest for tubes either.ĪLso if you listen really carefully you can also hear Single Shot Fire in certain parts of the song. Then you can hear JIMI TURN UP the TREBLE and it gets a BUZZING BEE SOUND and Then and the Machine Gun Fire comes out sounding more like an M16 Small Arms Fire and then a Ricchot the fades into a Plane Flying Off into the distance.īut I read years ago that he said he would bang the guitar against the amp and click the stand by switch on and off as fast as possible. Listen toalmost the very end of the song Im going to post at the endĪt first you will hear HEAVY Machine Gun Fire. I also believe he was hitting the guitar against the amp. Hendrix did it by switching the Stand By Switch on and off Rapidly. To illustrate the importance of space or reverb, here is a sound of a balloon being popped in an anechoic chamber: When you play a short, sharp sound, the reverb in the room gives it the sense of impact. ![]() Those were treasured times for us.Īs for a gunshot, I think reverb is critical. We are still in close contact with each other, mostly via email, but try to get together once or twice a year. In the immediately ensuing silence, a woman sitting at a table near us, practically jumped out of her chair and screamed, "YEOW!" With my foot poised on the switch for our stage lights, I whispered, "1, 2, 3, 4," then BAM!. We stood there, facing different directions. Then the chord again, and more silence, after which the song takes off. ![]() The song starts with a big, loud, short chord. We stood in the dark, idly, and trying not to play any sounds. We decided to use "Cottage Cheese," by Crow, for our first song of the set: We worked up a version of You Deserve a Break Today, then played it at a gig at Reed College, in Portland.Īt the ski bar, we came back after a break, decided to scare the patrons, who were all chatting away. For example, we had got our hands on some cardboard McDonald's pirate hats. We were still at a stage where we liked to fake people out. When I was 18, my band had a regular gig at a bar in Government Camp, Oregon. ![]()
