F C G C could become F F# G C, or Abm F# Em(or E7) C and so on. I think a jazz theory teacher somewhere used to mention third substitution too. That would be a simple way to take things outside the usual electronica. I don't know if it would always sound good, but hey, Jimi Hendrix didn't always sound good.
I think Hendrix was very well aware of that, and that's why he was thinking of switching bands in order to renew his sound. He had a deal with three other guys for starting a new band called HELP. Hendrix delayed his involvement in that project because of schedule issues and then died. The new band started anyway, dropping the letter H from its name, and made a bunch of successful albums and shows. It was notable by the fact that it was at once called a "rock band" and yet never has had any non-bass electric guitar.
Ok, now I'm really off-topic =)
