@Fairlane67:
Jimi Hendrix is the guitarist for me !!!!Although his mainstream career spanned only 4 yrs , he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame describes him as arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music .Hindrex favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume& gain , & was instrumental in developing the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback . He helped to popularize the use of a wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, & was the 1st artist to use stereophonic phasing effects in music recordings .Holly George Warren of Rolling Stones said Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source .Players before him had experimented with feedback & distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects & others into a controlled , fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began .Born in Seattle Washington Nov 27, 1942 died in England Sept 18, 1970 aged 27 Total yrs active 1963-1970 .If you google his name Wikipedia has 38 pages about him also says Worlds highest paid performer.
