You should be so lucky to ever witness such 'noodling'.
Villanova Junction started off as 'noodling'.
What you were getting with Hendrix was exposure to a musician composing, it was a process. Perhaps painful to listen to at times but an artist at work none the less.
I suspect you would get much more of a display of twiddly bits interrupted by more and faster muscle memory feats from any young guitarist stuck on stage with no real background in composing. I would love to be proved wrong.
Vai and Satch are crap, by the way.
If you need to know whether you have been fooled by the smoke and mirrors just take a look around the audience.
Spotty 20 year old boys? 90%? Yes, smoke and mirrors. Vai and Satch.
Reams of amazing supermodels? 65%? Talent. You are at a Blur gig.
