Music Hendrix said Kath was better.

Chiefshrink · 10-18-2018, 10:17 PM

The Group 'Chicago' otherwise known as "Chicago Transit Authority" in their early days headlined for Hendrix for awhile. Jimi said Terry was better than he was. Here is the Tanglewood concert from 1970 specifically the tune 25 or 6 to 4 where Kath absolutely is shredding it out of this world. I know many of you know this story already but to see what Hendrix was talking about and being able to catch this amazing solo on video at the time was very fortunate. Enjoy !!

Yep, from 3:20 to 5:40 he get into it.

But there were many other songs where he just went off and freelanced and the band was like WTF is he doing in amazement.They were both good, but each generation has their litter of great guitar players.

There was a poll I seen some time ago where Kath wasn't in the top 100.

I knew right away they didn't know what they were polling about, polls voted by young fans, the people they had in them were awful.

Yep!! He should have been in the top 5 and even Rolling Stone did not have him in their top 5

Polls nowadays are just current day popularity contests.

Kath doesn't deviate from the blues shapes/ pentatonic scale. Jimi took it outside, which is always better

I really would have liked to see what Chicago would have been in the 80's with him still around. His passing sent the group down a successful bad path. David Foster and Peter ruined their sound.

jimi said the same about Rory Gallagher. there's a ton of guitarists that play better but Jimis phrasing was superb

All that sound with no pedals other than a simple wah wah. It led to Hendrix question to how he got all that sound out of his guitar. Hendrix was complimentary of many guitarists but he and Kath had a true friendship and mutual respect. They toured together and Jimmy went to many of his shows. I got to see Chicago 2 times both with Terry he was amazing just tragic we lost him they were never the same after.

Didn't hear anything there to say he's better than Jimi, at all. Likely just Jimi being modest.
