Jimi Hendrix is a very well known guitarist famous for his songs, bands and, of course, guitar prowess from 1966 to 1970. He was from the state of Washington; he entered the Army served well as a paratrooper and earning the prestigous Screaming Eagles patch. During the time he was in the Army, he befriended Billy Cox, who would later be with him in the Band of Gypsys.
In 1966, Chas Chandler, bass player of The Animals, (prompted by Keith Richards' girlfriend, Linda Keith) discovered Jimi at a club in New York City. He became the producer of the Jimi Hendrix Experience's 3 albums: the best-selling Are You Experienced?, Axis Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland. Electric Ladyland was also the studio for Jimi Hendrix newly built in 1969.
When Chas Chandler discovered Hendrix, he brought him from the US to London. Hendrix was an overnight sensation playing at London clubs. He not only packed clubs from his virtuoso guitar playing and excellent chemistry with his power trio, Jimi Hendrix Experience, but his gigues were frequented by the likes of Mick Jagger, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. When the ephochal Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band album came out in June of 1967, Hendrix had his band learn the album in just a few days. At a club later that weekend, he played the album in front of a packed crowd including Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney stated it was one of the most thrilling, amazing musical experiences of his lifetime!
One of the most acclaimed Jimi Hendrix performances was when he played on Monday, August 18, 1969 at Woodstock. This was the last day of the festival and the way he ended Woodstock would live in the memory of millions who either witnessed this concert, saw the Woodstock film or viewed it on YouTube. The way he played the national anthem is one of the most memorable songs played that Monday. By the time of Woodstock, Hendrix had broke with the other Experience trio members - Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell. He was also famous for being a hit at Monterrey Pop Festival in 1967 where he smashed, burned and sacrificed his electric guitar at the end of a very renowned concert.
In 1970, he formed Band of Gypsys with Billy Cox, his friend from the Army and drummer, Buddy Miles.
