What don’t we owe Jimi Hendrix? For his monumental rebooting of guitar culture “standards of tone”, technique, gear, signal processing, rhythm playing, soloing, stage presence, chord voicings, charisma, fashion, and composition?... He is guitar hero number one.” A quote from Guitar Player Magazine. Hendrix’s early years were challenging, but he managed to find himself in his guitar and music, and through them became – at least as evidenced in his lyrics – a deep and profound person. He was only on the world stage for such a short time – he went from nothing to headlining Woodstock in the span of three years – and yet, as noted in the quote from Guitar Player above, he changed the music scene. At Woodstock, which many consider Hendrix’s most iconic performance, he opened the show with this song, an amazing song that demonstrates both his ferocious musical prowess, as well as his dedication to a transcendent ideal. Hendrix is considered one of the most important guitarists of all time, but as a person, he got there singing about love, and asking God to help others in their personal quests. Despite his growth, Hendrix’s problems didn’t vanish and he died in 1970 at the young age of 27. Despite his tragic end, his music brought him to a much higher place, and helped him to transcend all the pain of his youth, transforming his Castles of Sand to a Message of Love.
