Jimi Hendrix was among the most significant musicians of the 20th century. For many, he was the ultimate electric guitar player, with an innate understanding of previous generations of guitar masters, along with a clear vision of how he could interpret this music in his own personal and dynamically charged way.
Jimi’s playing was bold, hip, at times brutal and at times sophisticated. His lead playing was as explosive as it was beautiful, with his flamboyant multifaceted style perfectly suited to the new sounds of the ’60s. While guitarists had used effects before, no one player assimilated these new sounds in such a compelling and cohesive package.
