Inspired by Jimi Hendrix

Hendrix's six-string innovations took root from metal and R&B to punk and even jazz. On “Eruption,” Eddie Van Halen mutates his hero's feedback squalls and swells into screaming flash. Funkadelic's groovy psych blast “Super Stupid” springs from the guitarist's fuzzy acid rock. Venturing way far out is Miles Davis' “Moja, Pt. 1”: mid-'70s fusion that contorts Hendrix-style wah-wah into flailing skronk.
