Ask any devotee of classic rock who they would place at the top of the best guitarists list, and you will get a resounding consensus that Jimi Hendrix sits on top. His music was unlike anything anyone had ever heard before. It was profoundly electrifying (literally) and steered clear of formulaic pop. Listeners had a visceral response to his songs. This was largely due to the musical equipment that Jimi Hendrix used. With this in mind, let’s take a closer look not only at his career but also at some of the equipment that made his sound so special.
Born in 1942, he emerged from Seattle, Washington. After a brief stint in the U.S. Army, he played in several low-paying gigs from 1961 to 1965. However, this fact did not in any way reflect what was to come. In 1967, he burst onto the rock scene with the release of his album “Are You Experienced,” which is considered one of the most incredible debut albums of all time.
As mentioned earlier, Jimi created music on stage that was unlike anything else. One significant reason was his use of cutting-edge musical technology.

When it comes to guitar playing, the first thing to consider is the position of the guitar in relation to your body. Many people tend to play their guitars too low because they have seen it that way in videos. Perhaps they think it looks cool. However, this is not the correct approach and it can actually make playing difficult and uncomfortable.
In reality, it is not the proper way to hold a guitar. This can cause a lot of trouble for the guitarist and even lead to serious hand issues if done for a prolonged period of time. If you observe skilled guitarists who prioritize playing correctly over showing off, you will notice that they tend to position their guitars higher on their bodies.
Ideally, you want your fretting hand, which is on the neck of the guitar, to be at a similar level to your torso.

Many people do this, and if you closely observe people playing on stage, you will see them doing the same. This is especially true as you … ...Read the rest.
