Johnny Allen Hendrix
was an American musician and singer-songwriter. He is widely considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in music history, and one of the most influential musicians of his era despite mainstream exposure limited to just three years. After initial success in Europe with his group The Jimi Hendrix Experience, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, he headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival.

Jimi Hendrix Reincarnated By Andre 3000 In Biopic Photos

André 3000 (or as he's known when acting, AndréBenjamin) always seemed like the perfect choice to portray legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix in the biopic we always knew was coming, "All Is by My Side." He passionately campaigned for the film to get made, and there's at least a resemblance between Hendrix and the Outkast member.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

The Jimi Hendrix Experience
More than any other musician, Jimi Hendrix realized the fullest range of sound that could be obtained from an amplified instrument. Many musical currents came together in his playing. Free jazz, Delta blues, acid rock, R&B, soul, hardcore funk, and the songwriting of Bob Dylan and the Beatles all figured as influences. Yet the songs and sounds generated by Hendrix were original, otherworldly and virtually indescribable. In essence, Hendrix channeled the music of the cosmos, anchoring it to the earthy beat of rock and roll.

Jimi Hendrix Biography
Source:
RollingStone Artist
A left-hander who took a right-handed Fender Stratocaster and played it upside down, Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before Hendrix had experimented with feedback and distortion, but he turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began.
