I have been studying hendrix for a while now, and i find that he is heavy in minor pentatonic scales, and adds the blue note occasionally. But dose anyone know any basic pointers (or advanced) on how this genious came up with half of what he has?

Jimi heard it in his head and found an outlet. Yes he felt comfortable with minor pentatonic scales but had no clue that is what he was doing. I wore out 3 vinyl copies of "Electric Ladyland". Had it on cassette in my car. Got the first version on CD and got the remastered CD. I can "air voice" the entire album. For more fun check-out the DVD from Rhino, "Jimi Hendrix, Electric Ladyland". When Mike Finnigan recreates his "comping" on the B3 for "Rainy Day" it brings chills. Stevie Ray Vaughn does some incredible recreations of Jimi's music.
As far as pointers there is a stomp box available from "Musicians Friend".com that got good reviews from Guitar Player magazine.
Best of luck with a good "Strat" and a small Marshall. Yes a small Marshall. You will get the best tone.

He was a genius. That's all there is to it.
