JIMI HENDRIX: PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE ULTIMATE GUITAR HERO, 50 YEARS ON

In many ways, it’s like the electric guitar didn’t really exist before him. Of course, Jimi Hendrix had his influences – Muddy Waters and Albert King to name just two. But it was Hendrix who radically revolutionised the instrument once and for all, and the impact he made in the late 60s has not been surpassed in all the years since.

It was Jimi who turned the six-string into a weapon, with its bullets cast in a melting pot of hot-rodded blues, molten fuzz and screaming psychedelia. No longer did the guitar feel like it was in the background, accompanying the rest of the band or adding melodies to help reinforce a lyric. It was now the undisputed star of the show.
