Jimi Hendrix died on September 18, 1970 after drowning in his vomit. He had drunk a large amount of red wine and, according to his friend Monika Dannemann, he had also taken sleeping pills.
He was a left-handed guitar player.
Hendrix could and would play behind his back and with his teeth and set his guitar on fire.
He bought his first Strat about 1965 and used them almost exclusively thereafter.
Hendrix's sound is a unique blend of high volume and high power, precise control of feedback and a range of cutting-edge guitar effects, especially the UniVibe-Octavia combination.
Hendrix’s dramatic performance of the song “Wild Thing” is documented in the film Monterey Pop (1969), and after the concert he became a superstar.
His best-selling albums include Are You Experienced? (1967), Axis: Bold As Love (1967), and Electric Ladyland (1968).
He was born in seattle and was a wicked drugged up guitar player.
As a teenager growing up in Seattle, Hendrix taught himself to play guitar by listening to records by blues guitarists Muddy Waters and B.B. King and rockers such asChuck Berry and Eddie Cochra
