my fix of hendrix

I have been listening to heaps of Jimi Hendrix. I love the way he uses the guitar.

Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold as Love Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced? Jimi Hendrix - The Ultimate Experience

When i was in year 13 I was out shopping with Mum. I had seen Hendrix stuff in guitar magazines and heard him in movies. I saw this best of album, the ultimate experience, out the front of a CD store. I was standing there staring at it, wanting it, but didn’t want to say anything cause there was no reason why I should have it.
Mum looked at me and said “well … I have bought myself something today, so you can have something.” I have always remembered that. A year later, after saving up, I bought my wah-wah pedal.

I remember being so stoked. I listened to the CD inside out and still am. I never understood all of the music at the time, but I do now. I think my favourite track of all time is Little Wing off Axis: Bold as Love.
