As you may know both Trey Anastasio and Jimi Hendrix are 2 main guitarists who did and still use feedback. Ever notice how if Trey uses feedback he doesnt have to strum alot of notes with his pick? Jimi Hendrix also used this method during his iconic performances. Sustain caused by feedback is a wonderful thing
Well, yeah! I frickin' love feedback! ;D
Yes, for sure-z in New Jersey. I point my amp at my torso so I can easily navigate in and out of the feedback zone. Super handy trick.

Hmm. I think Hendrix stopped using feedback in '70.
This just in:
Tuning your strings can be a good thing!!!I heard Trey and Jimi Hendrix "tuned" their guitar strings. It made them sound sweet and can be found in many of their paramount performances. :P
Sorry I'm being a smart ass :D
Hendrix had to tune up atleast a couple of times per show im sure. I fuckin hate Strats

People who had the ultra rare distinction of actually picking up and playing Jimi's guitar after a show have been quoted as saying his guitar was horribly out of tune. The only explanation they have for why you don't hear this fact from halfway through the show, and on through to its end, is that Jimi was just so amazing he could actually play around this shortcoming of every strat by anticipating and bending notes to a desired pitch.

I think Trey's feedback has just about everything to do with how skillful he is at playing his hollowbody in just the right way when he wants a note to really resonate in the chamber; and then he uses the volume knob on his guitar to control the level of feedback so that it doesn't always and immediately balloon into an overwhelming volume swell.
Hendrix got most of his feedback from the fact that his Marshall amps were tweaked to such an extreme degree that they often destroyed speakers or simply blew up by the night's end.
