Hi, my friends steemians, the taste for genres like Rock and Blues comes from my father, since I was little I've been listening since Little Richards, Elvis Presley, BB King, Chuck Berry, The Animals, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Who , AC / DC, Guns and Roses, in many others more ...

But today I will tell you about the one that I consider the best that is His Majesty JIMI HENDRIX ..

James Marshall Hendrix, American musician guitarist and singer-songwriter ... Considered the best guitarist in rock history, and considered one of the most important musicians of the twentieth century. From the beginning jimi proved to have the musical ability tattooed in his spirit. A curious fact is that he himself learned to play the guitar by himself, listening to the radio. He listened to various artists, especially Elvis Presley and BB King. In his youth, he became a guitarist for Curtis Knight and Little Richards among others.

He gave up being a guitarist for someone else, he wanted his thing, so he started going to bars in New York, his sound was a strong rooted blues, it was not what they were looking for in the scene as such .. a night jimi shows up In Cafe Wha? .. what he did not know is that same night Chas Chandler was also, old bass player of The Animals looking for new talent, he was not clear that it was the sound as he wanted but if he was looking for someone who played the song Hey Joe by author Billy Roberts ... Coincidence or not, Hendrix gets on the scene and starts playing "HEY JOE", which Chas Chandler begins to see him did not think something of another world, but when he saw Hendrix perform Perfectly while he had the guitar behind his head and play with his teeth knew that he had found what he was looking for THE NEXT STAR.

Chas talks to Hendrix and tells him to sign it and to take him to England to start his career to the top, Jimi only had the requests that Chas presented to Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton who were longtime friends of Chandler himself. Now in England Jimi asks to go and see a concert of CREAM .. band composed by Jack Bruce considered The best bass player in the world, Ginger Baker considered the best jazz drummer in the world and Eric Clapton considered a "GOD", jimi attends and After a while he asks to play with the band .. these Three Gods in the middle of their concert wondered who was that American, that if he was crazy, bone was CREAM was the maxima elite !.

Cream invites him to ride and play "Killing Floor", a song that Eric Clapton had always liked because of how difficult it is to play .. according to what I read on the internet and others, they say that it was Something from another world something Very impressive, Jimi began to play as no one had seen, played with his teeth played with the guitar behind his head, apart from Hendrix I play with excessive ease ..

Eric present seeing all this stops touching and leaves the stage to smoke a cigar, chas realized and underneath the .. he got it shaking he could not even light the cigar eric says nervous "why did not you tell me it was like this fucking good?"

Jimi along with Chas and Mitch Mitchell, Noel Redding and Billy Cox, create The Jimi Hendrix Experience ...

It was a time of madness jimi left astonished to all, until the time arrived the teachers had to learn of the novice ... completes its Maximo Level in Woodstock 69 ... a presentation that I invite you to see it, is something that leaves With a different perspective of rock and roll!

Unfortunately Hendrix was alcoholic and drug addict, he liked many different drugs ... one night of 1970 they get it in his hotel room in London, according to the official was drowned with his own vomit, because he was taking sleeping pills and wine ..

All songs, presentations, Riff are something UNIQUE AND MAGIC ...
