Jimi Hendrix

Biography:

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music".

NOTES:
1. “…In 2014, VH1 deemed The Cry of Love "the greatest posthumous classic rock record of all time".
That same year, it was reissued in both CD and LP formats by Experience Hendrix.…”
2. My interpretation of this song in this TAB, only tries to capture the essential chords, not the
colourful flourishes of the lead riffs. 'Trust that you'll enjoy, this? :-R
