Jimi Hendrix: the Legend
|
Jimi Hendrix Jimi Hendrix perhaps no other rock-and-roll trailblazer was as original or as
influential in such a short span of time as Jimi Hendrix. Widely acknowledged as one of
the most daring and inventive virtuosos in rock history, Hendrix pioneered the electric
guitar (he played a right- handed Fender Stratocaster-- his "Electric Lady"--upside-down
and left- handed) as an electronic sound source capable of feedback, distortion, and a host

credited for having a profound effect on everyone from George Clinton and Miles Davis to
guitarists Stevie Ray Vaughan
