Jimi Hendrix
Are You Experienced?

THE REVIEW

Jimi Marshall Hendrix was born in Seattle on November 27, 1942, and developed a passion for the guitar very early on: at the tender age of twelve, he received his first acoustic guitar as a gift, and after arranging the guitar strings for left-hand, he began to learn the secrets of this fantastic instrument and develop a decent technique.
Following a period of wandering during which he made a living playing in Blues and Rock bands, he secured a contract in 1965 that tied him permanently to a band in Greenwich Village.

This economic stability led him to deepen and expand his technical skills but above all his creative vein. In fact, Jimi significantly influenced what would become the electric sound of the '90s by blending blues sounds with distortions that approached styles like rock of that time.

Are You Experienced? encapsulates an important chapter in Hendrix's musical career: tracks like Hey Joe, Purple Haze, and Are You Experienced? contain riffs stupefyingly structured, played with accuracy and extreme skill by the greatest electric guitarist of all time.
Unfortunately, the fire that burns the brightest is the one that lasts the least; in fact, Hendrix was found lifeless on the morning of September 18, 1970, suffocated by his own vomit due to a barbiturate overdose. Yet another drug abuse extinguished one of the musicians who, more than anyone else, revolutionized the world of the electric guitar.
