Well - white people (frankly) tended to have larger amps, less horns - less side-to-side Swing & more & faster back-to-front Rawk rhythm... Different coding - an arrogance from relative privilege one might posit. Many things we could unpack... The Youth rebellion rather than 'Race relations' (for lack of a less perhaps noxious term). Especially those with an Ocean inbetween. But we could even talk of the difference from London to Belfast...
To say nothing of the whole oddity & colossal absurdity of people from the UK being necessary to expose white people in the USA to our Nation's own Musics (people very much like me - which is why things like this Program are a revelation & consistently leave my jaw on the floor)...

I think the amps were larger to start because PAs weren't really what the would eventually become in the sixties...then they were but the big amps kind of stuck around.

The technology just moved on, for one thing. But it's one difference between the earlier R&B & the Rawk afterwards. Hendrix came out of the U.S. Soul scene & managed to assimilate - well, everything really - as a contemporary...

I don't know, I think the wall of amps just stuck around (particularly for metal) past their necessity as a visual aesthetic.

Well different amps give different tones. To bring it back to what this here is about ...I consider the Gittar in this kind of R&B ~ Soul a discipline & an aesthetic all its own. To speak merely of the Gittar !...

Jimi deserves credit for a lot of things, but I think he wasn't the first to play with his teeth (I guess there were a few guys on the chitlin circuit he saw doing that stunt) but gets all the credit for it.

Yeah he'd been part of it - while the UK guys learned it from Records.

One of the funniest things I've ever seen in a biopic is in Hendrix. They have the guy playing Little Richard personally fire him (he didn't) and, in doing so, flat out says Jimi is upstaging him (Hendrix's stage antics were surely part of it, but imagine LR flat out saying anyone could upstage him)

...Hendrix was different in not being from Chicago or the South - but from Seattle. Which had of course a unique multiculti scene. & he was contemporary with the UK Rawkers. He grew up with R'n'R as much as Blues records - what have you...

T-Bone Walker, too. Indeed.

Actually - Richard said as much himself. But he also said Jimi was the greatest musician he ever met. In one interview - anyhow...
  8:43pm
Listener Jumpy in New York:

Richard said this about Jimi: "I fired him for being too purdy. One night I heard this screamin’ and hollerin.’ I thought they were screamin’ for me. But it was for him! He was back there playin’ the guitar with his mouth. He didn’t do it again, ’cause we made sure the lights didn’t come on him no more. We fixed that! We made sure that was a black spot!”

There's also a real parallel between Jerry Lee setting a piano on fire when opening for Chuck Berry and Jimi setting his guitar on fire at Monterey to compete with The Who's destruction.

...which is a pocket illustration of Jimi's whole situation with being an R&B sideman. But of course just look @ Jimi to see the Little Richard influence. Jimi noticed the Isleys liked him 'performing' like that cause it went down well with their scene...
