This guy taught himself, thus creating his own, and still original style. Mad props to the man.

The one thing that makes Hendrix stand out as "The Greatest Guitar Player Of All Time" is not only what he did but WHEN he did it.
Having lived at the time when Jimi emerged on to the music scene I can tell you, before Mr. Hendrix, everyone sounded the same.
It was as if he invented a whole new instrument. Eric Claptons first words after hearing Jimi for the first time was, "Well, I'll never play guitar again." luckily he didn't keep that promise but you get the picture.
Another amazing thing was Jimi's insecurity as a guitarist. When he wasn't playing, he wasn't sure if people would like his style and when he was playing...well, he was somewhere other than here.

Almost got to see him at the Fillmore East New Years Eve ushering in 1970 as a Band of Gypsies with Buddy Miles and Billy Cox which was, as you probably know, recorded live originally as "A Band of Gypsies" (LP). Wish I had been there (sigh......) Posted January 16, 2008 |

His creativity alone would be inspiration enough (If 6 were 9, Castles Made of Sand, Little Wing - the imagery in his lyrics is amazing)... Posted December 22, 2007 |
