Music is what feelings sound like.

Nicht ganz 28 Jahre alt war Jimi geworden. Nur 12 Jahre hatte er Gitarre gespielt, 4 Jahre vor seinem Tod hatte er seine erste Platte aufgenommen. So wie der Schwarze aus Seattle hatte noch niemand die elektrische Gitarre gespielt. Besonders Musiker waren und sind von seinen Fähigkeiten hingerissen. In just 4 years he has changed the music world forever. He was not even quite 28 years old when he died on too much sleeping pills and red wine.

Why pretty much every list has Jimi at the top, it’s for a reason. He was a musical genius. He was the master of psychedelic and the god of the guitar. Jimi Hendrix revolutionized the playing of the electric guitar. Before Hendrix, guitarists just strummed the guitar, played the chords, maybe picked out a solo melody. Hendrix got sounds out of the guitar that nobody had ever heard. He was the innovator. He didn't just accept the guitar method book approach to playing the guitar and approached the instrument as more than just chords and twangy solos. He used the guitar and amplifier together to create even more unique sounds. He was the first to use feedback as a part of his playing. He brought, fuzz and distortion and feedback and reverb into the mainstream of guitar. You want to talk about shredding… Hendrix did it with his teeth. There is a clear Pre-Hendrix and Post-Hendrix sound. Without him, there would be no Slash, no Stevie Ray Vaughan and 80% of all guitarists as we know them today. Songs like „Voodoo Child (Slight Return)“, „Hear my train a coming“, „Machine gun“ really changed people's perception of the electric guitar from just an electrified acoustic guitar to its own instrument genre. Hendrix was only listening to people like Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and BB King which have such a tame sound relative to what Hendrix came up with. And that's why Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitarist of all time!

„Johnny B. Goode“ als Beispiel für den Pre-Hendrix- and Post-Hendrix-Sound:

Jimi never plays a song the same way twice. He speaks straight from the heart: „We play as we feel, and people will never get to know us by just listening to our records. We could never make enough to cover all our moods. It's only by seeing our shows when each peformance is spontaneous and different that they will come to understand what we are all about.“ (Jimi Hendrix, „Starting At Zero“, page 144). „Of course, those kids out there expect to hear the records we've cut.They've already heard the record, but stilll they want us to play the song like the record. We could eighter bring the whole box of tapes on stage, or they could go back home, set pictures of us up on the wall and listen to the record! In person we play things a different way.“ (Jimi Hendrix, „Starting At Zero“, page 143). „And I think it's time for people to understand that we are not always in the same bag with each performance. How can you be when you are constantly reaching, improvising, experimenting? It's impossible. Things have to go through me, and I have to show my feelings as soon as they're there.“ (Jimi Hendrix, „Starting At Zero“, page 98).
