Lesson 17
Jimi Hendrix

'I am what I feel', Jimi Hendrix once said, 'I play as I feel and I act as I feel.

A left-handed player, Hendrix could coax all kinds of sounds from his electric guitar and enjoyed demonstrating his virtuoso skills with such tricks as playing his instrument behind his back or playing it with his teeth.

James Marshall Hendrix was born in Seattle in November 1942 and began his career as a back-up musician to such stars as Little Richard and the Isley Brothers.

In 1966 he was playing in a New York club when he was heard by the British bass guitarist and would-be manager Chas Chandler.
