There are tons of things wicked about Jimmy Hendrix.

His lyrics are absolutely phenominal.
His skills with a guitar are amazing.
His singing is pretty good nonetheless

Jimmy Hendrix is amazing.

Any thoughts about him?

I like his song Foxy Lady. a lot.

I think his guitar skills are amazing as well. but I don't think his lyrics are spectacular or anything. I just think they were well suited for his voice.
Now that I find amazing

I would've done that, if Crowquill hadn't

.

Yeah Hendrix was extremely good, and one of, (if not the only one), to play the guitar upside down and backwards.

Well he was left handed, so playing it backwards would be like playing it frontwords for any right handed fellow... Not really dificult.

Though Jimi could play his guitar frontwards, which for him would be like playing it backwards.

No he didn't. He took a right-handed guitar, turned it upside down, and restrung it.

Still one of the greatest guitarists of all time, easily.

The thing is...he didnt re-string it..read up on it...he didnt restring it..thats what made it soo amazing

"the left-handed Hendrix played a right-handed Fender Stratocaster guitar turned upside down and re-strung to suit him."
