Jimi Hendrix Biography and Top 10 Songs
The issue with that is, I'm left handed and my father right handed and so we had to keep switching the strings about which my father moaned at. There is no way I possibly could play the guitar left handed like Jimi so I eventually gave up and chose to appreciate your guitar skills in others and focus my energy on other things.
Jimi was born on November 27th 1942 in Seattle, Washington and it is remembered among the greatest guitarists of all time (the best to me). Jimi first became famous within the USA (his home country) and ended his career in London, England. Jimi made success in america as he performed at the Monteray Pop Festival in 1967, he later headlined in the Woodstock Festival in 1969. Jimi had many influences to his music, including Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Curtis Mayfield and even Pete Townshend (The Who) and seemed to be influenced by his Native American heritage.
Through the years Jimi helped to revolutionize music by developing several guitar techniques (using overdriven amplifiers to produce guitar feedback), and was one of the first performers to use stereophonic and phasing effects in the recording studio. Jimi can also be well-known for his flamboyant dress sense and stage performances.
Jimi was found dead in the basement flat from the Samarkand Hotel in London (I went to see personally on a visit) and the cause of death was considered he had died by drowning on his own vomit after drinking dark wine and taking several sleep aids. The circumstances leading upto Jimi's death still remain somewhat a mystery and the details vary from are accountable to report.
Jimi was inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame in 1992 and holds many other achievements such as Melody Maker' pop musician of the season 1967 and 1968, Rolling Stone Magazines number 1 of their 100 Greatest Guitarists Ever, and has his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
Jimi released several studio albums (some notable ones being Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold as Love, Rainbow Bridge and Electric Ladyland) and it has also released several live albums (Gang of Gypsys, Isle of Wight, and Bleeding Heart to name a few). A number of Jimi's most popular singles were: Hey Joe, Stone Free, Purple Haze, All Across the Watchtower, Foxy Lady, Voodoo Child and Little Wing.
