The greatest guitarist of all time, Jimi Hendrix was also one of the major social figures of the Sixties, a mind-blowing voodoo child who discharged clouds of distortion and pot smoke. A left-hander who took a right-handed Fender Stratocaster and played it upside down, Hendrix initiated the use of the tool as an electronic sound source. Players before Hendrix had experimented with feedback and distortion, but he turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began. This great guitarist was habituated with the excess use of drugs. He died from excess drug abuse. Though there are controversies exist about his death. He is an icon for the musicians of the worlds. His magical guitar play engaged the listeners till today.
