“I try to use my music to move these people to act.” – Jimi Hendrix

Today, it has been 43 years since Jimi, passed away.
For guitar players, it is mandatory to listen and learn from his music style.
His style is one that is most copied and admired.

I didn’t really listen to Jimi until late into my Guitar learning.
I never had his albums
and the radio stations didn’t play much of his music when I was growing up.

But when I heard his music, I knew that it was going to be one of those styles
that I wouldn’t be able to play.
Up to this day, I can’t play any of his songs.
Of course, they are hard to learn in my opinion.

A lot of guitar guys I know learn Jimi’s songs and style
just so they can show off or to prove that they are passionate guitar players.

To be honest with you,
As much as I would love to learn Jimi’s songs,
I would much rather listen to him
and enjoy his musical genius pouring down my ears.

I just want to listen how Jimi changed the world of Guitar music.
I have no desire to play his songs.
I don’t need to show off.
I just want to experience it.

And I am okay with that.
