Hendrix’s significance to music cannot be overstated. He redefined the use of the electric guitar, pushing the boundaries of technique and tone. His utilization of distortion, feedback, and wah-wah pedals gave birth to a new sound that still rocks through every modern-day electric guitar. He had hits on hits like, “Purple Haze,” “Voodoo Child,” “All Along the Watchtower”, “Machinegun”, and “Little Wing” which are timeless classics that showcase his genius musical abilities.
