Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, 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\u00a0Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\u00a0describes him as &#8220;arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music&#8221;.[1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Born in&nbsp;Seattle, Washington, Hendrix began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1961, he enlisted in the US Army, but was discharged the following year. Soon afterward, he moved to&nbsp;Clarksville&nbsp;then&nbsp;Nashville, Tennessee, and began playing gigs on the&nbsp;chitlin&#8217; circuit, earning a place in&nbsp;the Isley Brothers&#8217; backing band and later with&nbsp;Little Richard, with whom he continued to work through mid-1965. He then played with&nbsp;Curtis Knight and the Squires&nbsp;before moving to England in late 1966 after bassist&nbsp;Chas Chandler&nbsp;of&nbsp;the Animals&nbsp;became his manager. Within months, Hendrix had formed the&nbsp;power trio&nbsp;The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and landed three UK top ten hits with &#8220;Hey Joe&#8221;, &#8220;Purple Haze&#8221;, and &#8220;The Wind Cries Mary&#8221;. He achieved fame in the US after his performance at the&nbsp;Monterey Pop Festival&nbsp;in 1967, and in 1968 his third and final studio album,&nbsp;Electric Ladyland, reached number one in the US. The&nbsp;double LP&nbsp;was Hendrix&#8217;s most commercially successful release and his first and only number one album. The world&#8217;s highest-paid performer,[2]&nbsp;he headlined the&nbsp;Woodstock Festival&nbsp;in 1969 and the&nbsp;Isle of Wight Festival&nbsp;in 1970 before his accidental death in London from&nbsp;barbiturate-related&nbsp;asphyxia&nbsp;on September 18, 1970.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hendrix was inspired by American&nbsp;rock and roll&nbsp;and&nbsp;electric blues. He favored&nbsp;overdriven&nbsp;amplifiers with high volume and&nbsp;gain, and was instrumental in popularizing the previously undesirable sounds caused by guitar amplifier&nbsp;feedback. He was also one of the first guitarists to make extensive use of tone-altering&nbsp;effects units&nbsp;in mainstream rock, such as fuzz distortion,&nbsp;Octavia,&nbsp;wah-wah, and&nbsp;Uni-Vibe. He was the first musician to use stereophonic&nbsp;phasing&nbsp;effects in recordings. Holly George-Warren of&nbsp;Rolling Stone&nbsp;commented: &#8220;Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began.&#8221;[3]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hendrix was the recipient of several music awards during his lifetime and posthumously. In 1967, readers of\u00a0Melody Maker\u00a0voted him the Pop Musician of the Year and in 1968,\u00a0Billboard\u00a0named him the Artist of the Year and\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0declared him the Performer of the Year.\u00a0Disc and Music Echo\u00a0honored him with the World Top Musician of 1969 and in 1970,\u00a0Guitar Player\u00a0named him the Rock Guitarist of the Year. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the\u00a0UK Music Hall of Fame\u00a0in 2005.\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0ranked the band&#8217;s three studio albums,\u00a0Are You Experienced,\u00a0Axis: Bold as Love, and\u00a0Electric Ladyland, among the\u00a0100 greatest albums of all time, and they ranked Hendrix as the greatest guitarist and the sixth greatest artist of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>View more &#8211; Wikipedia.org:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jimi_Hendrix\">https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jimi_Hendrix<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jimi Hendrix https:\/\/m.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Jimi+Hendrix+playlist James Marshall\u00a0&#8220;Jimi&#8221;\u00a0Hendrix\u00a0(born\u00a0Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942\u00a0\u2013 September 18, 1970) was an American musician, singer, and songwriter.
