"...He played at a bad time musically I think,in the psychedelic era. The best Ty M...."

Hendrix was a product of his time and it was his own excesses that killed him, not the 'bad musical time'. Unfortunately drugs tend to be easier for popular musicians to get. All muscal genres have examples of abuse.

As for 'bad time musically' in fact Chet made some excellelnt albums during that time. Every "time" has good and bad music.

To address the original question as to whether Chet "stole" a lick from Hendrix.

Is it unreasonable to suggest that perhaps both men got the lick from another source or came up with it indepently? Or perhaps Hendrix "stole" it from Chet?

Chet played psychodelic music?Wow!!!I was referring to psychedelic music only,not "other genres".How could that point be missed?That lick(it's not even a lick it's a chromatic chord progression from b7 to 1)was here long before Chet or Hendrix(centuries)and "everybody" steals musically.Chet "always" had great albums! The Best Ty M.

Everyone has their own opinions.. I was just responding to labelling a certain era as a 'bad musical time'. One might not care for a particular style of music but that is an opinion that might not be shared by others.
