Let the music release your feelings...: Jimi Hendrix

so for a change i will write i english... :)

so Jimi Hendrix is my favorite guitarist of all time i think that Jimi Hendrix is the best guitarist ever.

Jimi Hendrix was one of rock's few true originals. He was one of the most innovative and influential rock guitarists of the late '60s. Jimi Hendrix was one of the most influential musicians in music history.

Jimi Hendrix band The Jimi Hendrix Experience's first hit single was "Hey Joe." It spent ten weeks on the UK charts, reaching as high as spot No. 6 in early 1967. The debut single was quickly followed by the release of the full-length album Are You Experienced, a musical CD featuring sounds of generations to come. Are You Experienced has remained one of the most popular rock albums of all time, featuring tracks like "Purple Haze," "The Wind Cries Mary," "Foxey Lady," "Fire," and "Are You Experienced?"

A left-hander who took a right-handed Fender Stratocaster and played it upside down, Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before Hendrix had experimented with feedback and distortion, but he turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began. But while he unleashed noise--and such classic hard-rock riffs as "Purple Haze," "Foxy Lady," and "Crosstown Traffic"--with uncanny mastery, Hendrix also created such tender ballads as "The Wind Cries Mary," the oft-covered "Little Wing," and "Angel," and haunting blues recordings such as "Red House" and "Voodoo Chile." Although Hendrix did not consider himself a good singer, his vocals were nearly as wide-ranging, intimate, and evocative as his guitar playing.

I saw a program on TV yesterday that was about guitar heroes in history of rock and roll. And when Pete Townshead (guitarist in the band "The Who") talk about Jimi he said that he had contacted Eric Clapton (one of the greatest guitarist of all time) and ask if he wanted to go to a movie. The thing was that the two had never meet before. Eric was surprised but accepted and then in the cinema Pete Townshead said to Eric:" I have just seen a man that is going to but us out of business."And he was talking about Jimi Hendrix.

The extraordinary performances, recording, and lyrics of James Marshall Hendrix have made him impossible to forget. This American rock music guitarist made a legendary mark not only in
the history of rock 'n' roll but also on the pop culture as a whole. With unique techniques never seen before and blatant sex-related performances on stage, he became one of the most influential music figures of the 60s.

Fortunately, the tragic death of this young man came after rather than before he had contributed so much to the rock 'n' roll era of the 60s. Not only did he inspire black musicians to persevere in their careers, but he also influenced the entire pop culture with his unprecedented music and stunning performances. In the eyes of many Americans, the legendary rock music guitarist Jimi Hendrix will live on forever.

If you haven't heard this man play the guitar then something is wrong with you. When you hear Jimi Hendrix its like one big music orgasm. :D

My favorit song - "All along the watchtower"
