There are few better than Jimi Hendrix. I’ve already proclaimed him the greatest guitarist of all-time for what he accomplished during a brief period before passing away at the age of 27. We already examined what made him so special in Part I of the Hendrix Experience three months prior.

From 1966-70, Jimi owned the stage playing some of the most innovative guitar solos which inspired future artists. His rendition of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock is one of the most spectacular. There’s only so much music you can choose from when talking about the legend of Jimi. One which shall never die. His music shall remain timeless.

Let’s take a look back at some of Hendrix’ special brand of music:

Jimi Hendrix: “All Along The Watchtower“-Live Isle of Wight

Jimi Hendrix: “Hey Joe“-Live Monterey

a classic sound of one of Jimi’s best plus the ever entertaining teeth solo. The man was an animal on the stage ripping it up!

Jimi Hendrix: “Wild Thing“-Live Monterey

this is the epic performance which has been shown over and over where he sacrifices his guitar setting it on fire really epitomizing the song and how it’s played.

Jimi Hendrix: “Purple Haze”

excellent shots of Jimi from various shows as a great song is played in the background.

Jimi Hendrix: “Fire”

You say your Mom ain’t home

It ain’t my concern

Just to play with me

And you want to burn

I only want to itch and desire

Let me stand next to your fire

Jimi Hendrix: “Voodoo Chile”

this song is so perfect. Everything about it is awesome. Jimi always played with such emotion really letting you in.

Jimi Hendrix: “Red House“-Live Randall’s Island

definitely one of his best. It’s got that perfect blues sound with just amazing lyrics.

I ain’t been home to see my baby
In about a ninety-nine and one half days
It’s about time to see her
Wait minute something’s wrong
This key won’t unlock this door
Wait a minute something’s wrong, baby
The key won’t unlock the door
Yeah
I got a bad bad feeling
That my baby don’t live here no more
