Description
60 years ago, Jimi Hendrix and Marshall helped change the sound of electric guitar forever.
To celebrate 60 years of Hendrix and Marshall, I was invited to a very special event in London where I had the privilege of speaking with Janie Hendrix, Jimi's sister, and incredible blues-rock guitarist Zach Person.
🎸 Featuring Janie Hendrix and Zach Person
🎸 Celebrating 60 years of Jimi Hendrix & Marshall
Janie shares personal memories of growing up with Jimi, the real story behind his childhood broomstick guitar, his arrival in London, and what made his relationship with Marshall amplifiers so important.
We also discuss Hendrix's friendships with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Paul McCartney, the legendary sound of his Marshall amps, and why his music continues to inspire guitarists around the world.
Plus, Zach Person demonstrates some of the guitar techniques that made Hendrix so revolutionary — from percussive rhythm playing to expressive dynamics and using the guitar's volume control.
A huge thank you to Marshall for inviting me along and continuing to celebrate and support the musicians who make guitar music so special.
