Jimi Hendrix was without a doubt one of the most creative and talented musicians ever. His ability to play the guitar was unparalleled, and his remarkably creative and spiritual song lyrics have lived on in the minds of listeners for decades, and will continue to live on forever. Jimi Hendrix had a remarkable talent for the guitar. Unable to read or write music, he tought himself to play on right-handed guitars, though he was left-handed. To guitarists around the world, this would seem incredibly difficult, however, Jimi made it seem so easy. Jimi's style of combining distortion with feedback and flanging wah sounds started a whole new phase of blues and rock. His music has influenced many musicians since his death, from Steve Vai and Johnny Lang, to Miles Davis. Jimi's innovation and creativity will always be an influence to musicians around the world. There are so few bands that will actually live on forever, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience is one of them.
