Great advice guy's, I need to try some of that.
Here is a couple of other thoughts as well. Brandon, maybe you need to stretch out a bit BEYOND Hendrix. Hendrix was pretty much straight pentatonic, and though he had alot of imagination, he was only 27 when he died and wasnt fully able to grow musically. 1/4/5 is a prison cell.
Maybe you arent a total Hendrix desciple though, but if so, Jazz is cool to explore, based on a blues type foundation. Hard Rock/Metal is too, as it involves a much different technical approach, but the blues is a good foundation for.
I understand when people claim that they have to 'feel' it (what they play) or that it cant be summoned on the spot, etc. This is true imo. BUT, if you practice and learn more stuff, from a harmonic/theory/technical point of view, then the 'inspired' moments will have more to draw from.
