Guitar God Fridays!! First Ever! – Jimmy Hendrix

Okay, We’ve decided that as of Today onwards, every Friday, we’re going to be bringing you a Guitar God playing one of their famous works of art, or simply just showcasing their amazing talents…
Were thinking of adding a short bio with some trivia and links for further info..
What do you think?
Please let us know by leaving comments.

We’re going to create a page on our parent website, where you’ll be able to find each clip we put up every Friday, plus any others we put up along the way.

We plan on showcasing every guitar style, but as you know musical taste is subjective, and no one person’s knowledge is complete, so if we seem to be missing out on amazing players/solos comment and lets us know!

So who’s get’s the Honorary first Spot?

Jimmy Hendrix of-course!!!

I’m not not going to do a bio on this god of guitargods (just yet)
If you want a quick rundown, try this wikipedia link

But what we do have is a little bit of a treat!
We’ve got 3 clips.

.

Being in a mellow mood I  thought we’d start with Hey Joe, it’s one of his shorter clips but not only is it a killer song, YOU HAVE TO WATCH HIM PLAY WITH HIS TEETH.
…while chewing gum….
For those just starting out, this may not be a technique you want to try at the start ;-]

.

For the next clip I thought you might enjoy hearing the man himself speak -  A rare interview with the great Dick Cavett!

.

And Finally for the next clip we’ve got a clip that is a sort of mini Bio Doco – Warning! its 9 mins long but well worth watching.

Have great weekend everybody, Happy Strumming!
Marcus
