Music Magazine Classic Rock Special: Jimi Hendrix Third Edition Edición anterior

Greatest guitarist ever? Beck? Clapton? Page? Van Halen? There’s no doubt they’re all absolute masters of their chosen instrument, musicians who elevated what could be done with six strings and a couple of pieces of wood into an artform. But when it comes to the best of the best, there’s only one name in the running: James Marshall Hendrix.

Of course, if you’re reading this, you know that already. We don’t need to tell you how this kid from Seattle revolutionised not just the guitar but music as a whole in a little over four years. Or how his legacy has only grown in the decades since his death in 1970 at the age of just 27. Or how he might not have been human, but some genius interdimensional alien with a hotline to the gods. Okay, that last one might be overstating the case. But only a little.

This very special magazine is dedicated to the life and times of Jimi Hendrix. Inside, you’ll find the very best articles and interviews from the archives of Classic Rock and The Blues magazines, charting his career from birth to death and beyond, diving deep into the making of such classic albums as Are You Experienced, Axis: Bold As Love and Electric Ladyland, revisiting his landmark gigs at Monterey, Woodstock and Atlanta, and exploring everything from his semi-mythical jam with The Doors’ Jim Morrison to the mystery of his final days. Factor in a rundown of the 20 greatest Hendrix songs, as voted by you, and it’s the ultimate tribute to one of the greatest musicians to have ever walked the earth. Enjoy…
