Jimi Hendrix, the legend

Today I want to talk about a man who I admire. His name is Jimi Hendrix and he is considered a legend in the history of rock music. Jimi Hendrix was, for a lot of people, the best rock guitarist at world and one of the most influential musicians. I think that no one has played the guitar like Hendrix. His style was definetly innotive and original, he create a new style of music and a new stlye of playing guitar. Hendrix was inlfuenced by blues artis such as BB King, Muddy Waters  and the jazz guitarrist Wes Montgomery.

His first succes was with his group “The Jimi Hendrix Experience”. They music was apprecaited at first time in the UK. After this initial succes he and his band become famous in USA. Jimi Hendrix´s most important performance was in 1969 at Woodstock Festival. People gone crazy when they saw Jimi Hendrix at the stage and his performance was considered epic.

Jimi Hendrix is widely known too, for using psychedelic drugs like LSD. Many musicians of that time have used all kinds of drugs. People say that the use of psychedelic drugs is reflected in the style music of Hendrix, and that may be the reason of his special style. It is a shame that the abuse of drugs was the reason  of the early dead of Hendrix. He died when he was only 27 years old and after that he became in a legend.
