Jimi was the guy that inspired me the most to play the guitar. He is without doubt the most influential rock guitarist ever. Jimi Hendrix innovated many of the playing techniques and equipment applications. He was a skillful songwriter, a turbulent performer and imaginative arranger. Although his career lasted three years from the release of his debut album "Are You Experienced?" in 1967 to his untimely death in 1970 at the age of 27. He has remained the person that inspired people all over the world to play the guitar. His records were so advanced that people still enjoy listening to them today and will continue listening to those records in the future.
