I might be a little biased, but Jimi Hendrix is undoubtedly one of the greatest guitarists to ever live, if not THE greatest. He was immensely influential and is the original guitar god. This lick is lifted straight from one of my favorite blues intros ever, Red House.
If you listen to the original Red House, you’ll be able to catch this lick at 0:24 in the song, right when the band drops back to the root chord (I chord=B chord). This little blues lick has impeccible, unique phrasing and is a hidden gem among the many flashy and wild licks that Jimi was known to play.
