Was Taito inspired by Hendrix when they created Space Invaders?

On Jimi Hendrix’s Woodstock album there is an awesome rendition of Red House. Right around 1:03 he does this little riff that totally reminded me of some blast from the past antique arcade game, most specifically Space Invaders but I could of course be mistaken, who knows. Is it just me? Any more specific examples of what it might sound like? It does beg the question, what was Toshihiro Nishikado smoking or listening back in 1978 to when they came up with the sounds ?
