the GOAT, made me cop a Fender Telecaster.. Thought I was gonna be playing like Jimi in no time.. Soon realised that it's hard as shyt to play the guitar..turned into an expensive ass decoration for my crib.. Looks dope as fukk tho. :whew:

It ain't hard after u break in your fingers and tighten up the tendons in your wrists the more you play...People still got understand that it's not about sounding like Jimi ('Cause he was truly an original and never played anything the same way twice) or anyone else we love...You just gotta take their foudation (blues+jazz) and make it your own just like they did

Axis: Bold as Love >>> i mess with the whole texture of the album. Very 60s. Cover is trippy as fukk too. I fukks with "Little Miss Lover" so much you don't even know :wow::wow: Tribe sampled it for Scenario.

I wonder how it feels like to listen to Hendrix on LSD :patrice:

Never listened to Electric Ladyland front to back. Am I missing out brehs?

setting music aside, Hendrix was a style king. Unapolegetically black swagger. Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding rocked afros just to roll with the "Jimi Hendrix Experience":wow::wow:

all the flashy moves he wowed white ppl with (playing with teeth) he picked up on the "chitlin circuit". While white ppl went :gladbron:most blacks were :comeon:. Shyt was just like today.

& think of all the women he smashed. In his biography they say he'd have an entire squad of broads in his crib :mjlol: he'd have a 5some or whatever with them and they'd cook, clean and tend to his every need afterwards. & he had a GF on top of that.

Wish I lived through the 60s
