Jimi Hendrix regularly tops polls to find the best guitarist of all time. For generations of musicians, he is the cornerstone of the electric guitar – an innovator, and a technically gifted artist who was able to raise the bar at practically every single show.
Yet offstage, Jimi Hendrix was shy, humble. As a kid, he used to tape Buddy Guy live shows, soaking up the blues guitarist’s incredible style, and blending it with his own. A youthful veteran of the chitlin circuit, he played with the Isley Brothers and Little Richard, encountering a host of inspiration with rhythm ‘n’ blues in full swing.
Landing in London in 1966, he immediately asked to jam with Cream – and famously blew Eric Clapton offstage within seconds, performing his radical take on Howlin Wolf’s blues staple ‘Killing Floor’.
A few days after his epochal performance at Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix sat down on the Dick Cavett Show for a high profile coast-to-coast interview. Praised by the host as the greatest guitarist on the planet, the humble musician smiled and joked “the greatest sitting in this chair, maybe”.
