“Do you know my biggest problem! I just can’t look straight into a camera and smile if I don’t feel like smiling, I just can’t do it. It’s like being told to be happy to order” Jimi Hendrix (2 years earlier)


Jimi Hendrix was undoubtedly an unforgettable performer and exceptional instrumentalist on the electric guitar. However what puts him on another plane is that he created a new genre of music. This is what makes Hendrix a composer!
