My black brother

Don't talk about him much as he was black sheep of the family

What can I say have been ask many times if he was a relitive.

Immense talent. The guitar was an extension of his body. His paint brush if you will. Watch and listening to his performances never gets old.

Re: Happy Birthday Jimi Hendrix

I've often wondered what fantastic music he may have created if he had not died so young and tragically, like so many other extraordinary artists:( He was truely one of a kind and influenced many others w his incredible techniques and sounds. I doubt anyone will ever best his talent or genius w a guitar. His lyrics were very deep also.

I'm no expert on the man, But I believe he learned to play w/o any lessons or help from experienced guitarists? And played w the strings order inverted on the guitar, or righthanded stings, played lefthanded? Wow!

Sad that he is gone, his music still sounds great today not like old style music but fits right in with the times....:(

Re: Happy Birthday Jimi Hendrix

Wonder what Hendrix would have thought about Lady Gaga????
Her piano and voice stuff is actually pretty amazing! The stuff in the music videos is just... well... pop music.
I thought this was funny.

My friend's dad still has tickets to a concert scheduled a couple weeks after he died.
Such a huge talent, gone so young.

Rolling Stone Magazine recently said Jimi is the greatest guitarist of all time.
