Jimi Hendrix Biography and Top ten Songs
The issue with this is, I'm left handed and my dad right handed and thus we'd to help keep switching the strings about which my father moaned at. There is no way I possibly could play the guitar a lefty like Jimi so I eventually threw in the towel and chose to appreciate the guitar skills in others and concentrate my energy on other activities.
Jimi was born on November 27th 1942 in Seattle, Washington and it is remembered as one of the greatest guitarists of all time (the best in my experience). Jimi first became famous within the USA (his home country) and ended his career working 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 as well as Pete Townshend (The Who) and seemed to be relying on his Native American heritage.
Over the years Jimi helped to revolutionize music by developing several guitar techniques (using overdriven amplifiers to create guitar feedback), and was among the first performers to use stereophonic and phasing effects in the recording studio. Jimi is also well-known for his flamboyant dress sense and stage performances.
Jimi was discovered dead in the basement flat from the Samarkand Hotel working in london (I went to see personally on a visit) and the reason for death was said to be he'd died by drowning by himself vomit after drinking dark wine and taking several sleep aids. Situations leading upto Jimi's death still remain somewhat a mystery and also the details vary from report 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 # 1 of the 100 Greatest Guitarists Ever, and has his star around 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). Some of Jimi's most widely used singles were: Hey Joe, Stone Free, Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower, Foxy Lady, Voodoo Child and Little Wing.
There has been many artists and bands who've covered Jimi's songs over the years (The Cure - Purple Haze, Stone Free - Eric Clapton, Bold As Love - The Pretenders) there happen to be also several tribute albums released in the honor.
