2. One of my favorites is Jimi Hendrix playing an acoustic 12-string blues.

4. I'm still trying to figure out where he's holding that pick in the beginning of the film...

He must be hugging it with his ring and pinky fingers. After the little "Wait a minute. Wait a minute"... he pulls it out and starts picking with it. I wish I could find more films of him playing acoustic because he's really fun to watch. All my life people have been saying that Hendrix was 'nothing but tricks and loud amps'. Well this film show me otherwise.
