Jimi Hendrix Biography and Top ten Songs

The problem with that is, I'm a lefty and my father right handed and so we'd to help keep switching the strings about which my dad moaned at. There was no way I could play the guitar a lefty like Jimi and so i eventually gave up and decided to appreciate the guitar skills in others and concentrate my energy on other things.

Jimi was created on November 27th 1942 in Seattle, Washington and is remembered among the greatest guitarists of all time (the best to me). Jimi first became famous within the USA (his home country) and ended his career working in london, England. Jimi made success in america when he performed in 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 influenced by his Native American heritage.

Over the years Jimi helped to revolutionize music by developing several guitar techniques (using overdriven amplifiers to produce guitar feedback), and was one of 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 found dead within the basement flat of the Samarkand Hotel in London (I went to see for myself on the visit) and the reason for death was considered he had died by drowning by himself vomit after drinking dark wine and taking several sleep aids. The circumstances leading upto Jimi's death still remain somewhat a mystery and also the details vary from are accountable to report.
