No one has, can, or ever will play guitar the way that Hendrix did. He not only played guitar, he used the guitar to get sounds and feeling out of the instrument that everyone else thought were impossible. Jimi once said "I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice."
He left everyone in the dust. Eric Clapton was wowed beyong belief. Pete Townshend almost considered giving up electric guitar and turning The Who into an acoustic outing. Jimi is simply the greatest guitar player of all time.
Plenty has been written about what his life, his music, his death and his legacy. So I will just let his music speak for itself. Below are some of my favorite Hendrix moments.
National Anthem At Woodstock
Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
Johnny B. Goode
