Nah, everyone learns how to do that in the second week of guitar lessons. The third week tops.

Is that why Hendrix never bothered doing it at Woodstock? Too elementary?

He intended to, but he had a bad habit of lighting his guitars on fire before he got to that part.

It would be more impressive if he actually knew the name of the piece he was playing.
(That was the Mozart Piano Sonata in C major, K545, not the Piano Concerto in C major. Also, with Mozart it's more helpful if you provide the K-number, since sometimes it seems like every other thing he wrote was in C major.)

He has the guitars capod. Meaning it makes it a lot easier. The strings are damped and don't ring out.

It's cool, but the thing that impesses me about guitar playing is the combonation of picking and alteration of the string length according the fretboard. This guy is just essentially playing an electric harp...

Correct SirCastor
Any ANYONE can learn to do that. It just takes practice.
What impresses me is improvisation. Done well.

While I don't deny this guy's technical skills, that is probably the least pleasant way to listen to those songs.
"Hammering" the strings like that is fine for an ocassional effect, but a hammered guitar string sounds really "nasal" next to a piano string or a harp string. I could never listen to a whole album of that.

I saw a really neat show on Mozart a while back, I'm trying to remember it. Anyway, at one point Beethoven met Mozart at some party, I think, and asked him to listen to his playing of the piano. Mozart said something like, "That is very good, but very learned." Meaning, Beethoven could play the piano, but it was straightup schoolbook stuff.
Then Beethoven started improvising off the top of his head and completely unorthodoxed. Mozart turned to the other people in the room and said, "Watch this fellow, he's going to be famous."
If anyone has the actual quotes to that, I'd like them. Some of my favorites.
