More Jimi

Jimi Hendrix was medically discharged from the army prior to the Vietnam conflict. He broke his ankle during a parachute jump.

During the conflict, marines played "Voodoo Chile" through PA speakers in their helicopters to intimidate their opponents

G.L.O.R.I.A

This one is on here just for fun as the samples are not cleared. They are from a Jimi Hendrix tune Gloria. It�s a good track, and I love the big open sound of the drums. There is a break down towards the end of this track, and Jimi says "I bet some of you all got a girl out there called Gloria, even if she does look like home made sin, and her breath smells like wet pussy", you can�t beat a line like that!

James Marshall Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix

Jimi owned many guitars, he also smashed many guitars.
Most of them were Fender Stratocasters, white or sunburst, sometimes black.

In the picture he is using a right handed, white maple neck Strat, it has been strung upside down, as you can see from the logo on the headstock.
This type of Strat was associated with another God, Eric Clapton.

The only guitar Jimi wouldn't destroy was a Flying V that he named "Angel"

The song "Fly on my sweet Angel" could be about many things.

F Shaped Bar Chords

yuck yuck yuck!
Jimi invented how to play guitar. (possibly not true) If you are still using F shaped bar chords then you REALLY need to see a Jimi Hendrix video!

You need to learn the thumb wrap and the spider!!
