Don't listen to the people who just reference Purple Haze, All Along the Watchtower and Hey Joe as his best songs. Hendrix's true mastery of the electric guitar and his ability as a magnificent songwriter come out in songs like Machine Gun on Band of Gypsys, which is the best performance with an electric guitar ever recorded, period. Other songs are Little Wing, Wait Until Tomorrow, Bold as Love, Rainy Day Dream Away, Up From the Skies, Izabella, Freedom and Room Full of Mirrors. Songs where he shine on guitar are Power of Soul, Hear My Train a Comin, Who Knows, and Message of Love.
Jimi Hendrix was the first person to fuse blues with jazz and wrap it in a blanky of funk. He was a very articulate human being, despite all of the hype of his drugs use, with a very clear message, find your talent and come alive. He was and will always be the greatest guitar player ever and one of the most important and influential people in the history of music.

You guys don't know jack about Jimi Hendrix.

Jimi Hendrix is the ultimate musical genious of our world. He is better at guitar dead than anyone on earth today. We should all be put to shame for having spoken his name, for we are unworthy.

Jimi is unbelievable...he was left-handed (like me) never learned to read or write music, and played a right-handed guitar upside down...the only other person who ever did that was paul mccartney

jimi hendrix

The greatest guitarist of all time. He changed the way the world looked at music, he changed the way I look at music. He inspired me to play guitar, as he has with many other people. I know i will never be as good at guitar as Jimi was, I probably won't be half as good as he was, but at least I can aim for 1/4 of his skill. God took away from this world what he gave this world, a god among us. If god was black, Jimi Hendrixs would be his son. Jimi is still alive, in our hearts, and in our souls. He will be remembered untill the end of the world as the man who changed it, made it better.
God needed a guitarist, so he took a god.
Fly on little wing.
Jimi Hendrix is immortal.

Jimi Hendrix

One of the greatest guitarists of our time and as aptly pointed out by Brittany R. the man who helped free the slaves.
History Channel Voiceover: The year was 1864. The Union trooops had almost defeated the Confederates in their battle to free the slaves. The absolute final turning point was when a black man dressed in phychedelic clothing and somehow having an electric guitar did something amazing.

Jimi:(Singing and playing his wicked licks)Purple haze all in my brain. Living things just don't seem the same. Acting funny but I don't know why. Scuse me while I kiss the sky.

History Channel Dude: Thanks to the amazing rendition of this and other now classic Hendrix tunes, the slaveowners were so distracted in amazement that they didn't bother watching all of their slaves escaping toward the North. Thanks to this, Jimi became known the world over as the man who helped free the slaves and whose clone played the same great music in the 60's. We thank you Jimi. Rock on, dude.
