Celebrated as the greatest guitarist of all time, Jimi Hendrix poured every bit of himself out on the guitar. His self-taught, awe-inspiring playing style revolutionized the rock movement from the late 60s on. His high octane life came to an abrupt end at the age of 27 due to a drug overdose. Despite his short-lived career, Jimi Hendrix remains one of the most respected and influential instrumentalists in the history of music.
