Jimi Hendrix


JimiHendrix
James Marshall Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix) (November 27, 1942, Seattle, Washington, USA - September 18, 1970, London, England) was a guitarist, singer and songwriter whose guitar playing was a considerable influence on Rock music. After initial success in Europe, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, Jimi headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival.
 
Jimi Hendrix helped develop the technique of guitar feedback with overdriven amplifiers. He was influenced by Blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Albert King, and Elmore James, and Rhythm and Blues, and Soul guitarists such as Curtis Mayfield, Steve Cropper, as well as by some modern Jazz guitarists. Carlos Santana has suggested that Hendrix's music may have been influenced by his Native American heritage.
 
As a record producer, Jimi also broke new ground in using the recording studio as an extension of his musical ideas. He was one of the first to experiment with stereophonic and phasing effects for Rock recording.
 
Jimi Hendrix won many of the most prestigious Rock Music Awards in his lifetime, and has been posthumously awarded many more, including being inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. An English Heritage "Blue plaque" was erected in his name on his former residence at Brook Street, London, in September 1997. A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (at 6627 Hollywood Blvd.) was dedicated in 1994. In 2006, his debut US album, Are You Experienced, was inducted into the United States National Recording Registry, and Rolling Stone named Jimi Hendrix the best guitarist on its list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2003.
