“I sacrifice a part of my soul every time I play.”

- Jimi Hendrix

Fifty years after the legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix died his music and message are far from obsolete. Hailed as a guitar legend, the legacy of his music remains unparalleled.

Inspired by the classic Blues legends like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix learned to play the style by ear playing along to records and learning the riffs, but it was the electric guitar that really took his heart. Exploiting the instrument to the fullest, he changed the way electric guitar was viewed and experienced. His true genius lies in the way he spoke through the electric guitar using whatever tools around him to create the sound he wanted. The guitar in his hands sounds warm and melodic, steely and cold, punk and angry, restrained and shy, it echoes his rhythmic voice, it plays rhythm and melody at the same time, and it expresses more emotion than most can through words.

Music was Jimi Hendrix’ way of talking, of expressing himself, of looking at the moment in time and society. His lyrics tell personal stories of love and heartbreak, of his childhood and struggles, but they also tell the story of the times Hendrix lived in. Deeply rooted in the blues tradition, they express pain suffered by an entire people treated unjustly. Over the span of four years – his short recording career – Hendrix managed to shape and change the understanding of music and the role of the electric guitar in rock and pop music. Throughout his journey to the top, he remained his authentic self while the industry pushed and tugged to make him fit into their narrow-minded boxes.

He remains today one of the most influential and iconic guitar players of all time.
