James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix born in November 27, 1942 .
Despite a relatively brief mainstream career spanning four years, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential electric guitarists in the history , and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music.
Hendrix was inspired musically he favored overdriven amplifiers with high volume and gain, and was instrumental in developing the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback.
For the first few rehearsals he used Vox and Fender amplifiers. When he sat in with Cream in October 1966, he played through a new line of high-powered guitar amps being made by a London drummer turned audio engineer Jim Marshall they proved perfect for Hendrix's needs.
The Marshall amplifiers were crucial in shaping his heavily overdriven sound, enabling him to master the use of feedback as a musical effect, creating what author Paul Trynka described as a "definitive vocabulary for rock guitar".
He helped to popularize the use of a wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock, and was the first artist to use stereophonic phasing effects in music recordings. Hendrix first heard a wah-wah pedal used with an electric guitar in Cream's "Tales of Brave Ulysses", released in May 1967.
In July, while playing gigs at the Scene club in New York City, Hendrix met Frank Zappa, whose band, the Mothers of Invention were performing at the adjacent Garrick Theater. Zappa's application of the effect pedal fascinated Hendrix, who experimented with one later that evening. The wah pedals Hendrix owned were designed by the Thomas Organ Company and manufactured in Italy by JEN Electtronica Pescara for Vox. He can be heard using the effect on: "Up from the Skies", "Little Miss Lover", "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", and "Still Raining, Still Dreaming".
Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone commented: "Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began."
Jimi Hendrix was the greatest instrumentalist of all time.The drugs addiction has ended his carrer so soon but his work will live forever
