More About Jimi Hendrix
Hendrix was one of the most creative and influential musicians in the history of popular music, and brought an intense and raw emotion to rock during the 20th century that no one ever saw before or has seen since. His innovative use of amplifier feedback, the wah-wah pedal, and stereophonic phasing effects dubbed him a pioneer of mastering the electric guitar. Achieving success first in Europe with the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Hendrix became immensely popular in the U.S. after his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. He went on to headline the Woodstock Festival in 1969, where his played his famous rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Hendrix died in 1970, at the age of 27, from drug-related asphyxia.
