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. Beyond the music, Hendrix was a poet of emotions, using his lyrics and voice to convey a deep sense of heart-searching. Soft-spoken and thoughtful, he was a romanticist who had a way with words and used them well to convey his feelings. He remains a symbol of freedom and artistic expression, connecting races and groups from all over with the power and love of his words and music.
