Yes; all his contemporary guitar players still play! AND he was the best!
play guitar ALL the time
Jimi Hendrix was one of the best guitarists ever. Playing any of his riffs would take a very accomplished musician.
Hendrix got his first real guitar when he was 15. He got his first electric guitar from his dad when in 1959 when he was 17. He became professional in 1963 when he was 21. But he was never taught to play guitar.
More than you even know. Prince's animalistic guitar screams all pay homage to Jimi Hendrix. Even when Prince is playing the guitar he copies Hendrix's stage presence. By this I mean, Hendrix would play a chord then sweep his left hand in the air and Prince does the same thing except sweep his right hand in the air. Prince also pretends to have sex with his guitar on stage, an act Hendrix made famous during his brief time. So basically Prince learned a lot from Hendrix.
You probably will not find one. Those would be very expensive and hard to locate.
Jimmy Hendrix met Hiotis in New York when the Greek bouzouki player was touring in the states in the 60's. It is said that Hendrix would frequent the club Hiotis would play in and marvel at his skill. They would speak for hours discussing music. Hendrix was mesmerized by Hiotis' ability to play very fast and clearly without dropping notes. I guess the the influence was this fantastic ability of Hiotis that drove Hendrix to play the way he did. When asked if he thought whether he was the greatest guitar player he answered that there was someone else better than him (although Hiotis played the bouzouki and not guitar)
Jean Batten would be 104 if she was still alive.
if he were still alive he would of bean 81
Yes, because he couldve shared a lot more if he hadnt died. He was already a legendary musician at the age he died, 27. Imagine what his influence would be if he was still alive today. It would be beyond comprehension.
Stefania Podgorska is still alive, she would be 87 now.
if Henry Hudson was still alive he would be 435
In 2008 he would be 162...therefore, no chance of still being alive.
