Jimi Hendrix Biography and Top ten Songs

The problem with this is, I'm a lefty and my dad right handed and so we'd to help keep switching the strings about which my father moaned at. There was not a way I could play the guitar a lefty like Jimi so I eventually gave up and decided to appreciate your guitar skills in other people and concentrate my energy on other activities.

Jimi was born on November 27th 1942 in Seattle, Washington and is remembered among the greatest guitarists of all time (the best in my experience). Jimi first became famous inside the USA (his home country) and ended his career working in london, England. Jimi made success in the US as he performed at 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 and even Pete Townshend (The Who) and seemed to be relying on 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 within the recording studio. Jimi is also well-known for his flamboyant dress sense and stage performances.

Jimi was found dead in the basement flat from the Samarkand Hotel working in london (I went to see for myself on the visit) and also the cause of death was said to be he'd died by drowning by himself vomit after drinking dark wine and taking several sleeping pills. Situations leading upto Jimi's death still remain somewhat a mystery and the details vary from report to report.
