Jimi Hendrix was the greatest guitarist the world has ever seen, and remains so. He usually played a Fender Strat, but was known to also play the "Flying-V".
On either instrument, he was a genius.
Concept Art for The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas by Jack Dubois for AD ART. The pitch story, in Jack's words (after showing him Doug's concept art): "Doug's Hard Rock Vegas concept got me to rooting out my original pre-model concept (on a black card, and note the "purple haze").... Big program that yielded a less-than-flattering exit for us by their CEO. I think I told you this story...Their AD had led us down this path, but when we came in with the model (cloaked in a purple velvet shroud, no less) and spec drawings to present to the CEO, all he demanded to know immediately was its cost, which at the time ran well over a million (Jimi was 90', rotating on a pedestal with animating neon and bulbs)! His response? "No f---king way", screamed and repeated, lest we misunderstood. We did not, and hurriedly left, never to discuss the subject again, as if the project had never existed. That's the way it is with many salesman--a lost job is rarely ever brought up again...Ever. I hope Doug at least had a more polite audience."
Jack Dubois was a real character... an uber talented artist... an amazing storyteller... and a dear friend.
What saves your sanity when the days stretch on and on, when the frustration of being crammed in your little cubicle makes you wanna jump out of office, when your head starts spinning with all the staring into the computer screen, when your eyes are boiling red and screaming for sleep, when the sight of code makes you wanna regurgitate the sloppy cafeteria lunch you've just consumed, when the formal clothes and leather shoes start feeling like shrink-wrap. Nah, not a fag. Argh. Listening to the blues. Whatever kind. Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters, Ray Charles, and everyone who took the blues forward and gave the world Rock n' Roll.. Jimi Hendrix in particular. Divine.
Technically, you can't do much with a camera thats easier than this. Take big bucket. Turn tap. See water splash. Switch camera on. Focus. Nah, autofocus. Flash. Click. And lo! You've got a perfectly awesome water bubble photo!

JIMI HENDRIX - VARIATIONS ON A THEME: RED HOUSE
Title: Red House
Format: CD with inserts and jewel case
Country: USA
Label: Hal Leonard Publishing / Are You Experienced Ltd.
Catalog Number: -
Condition: Mint-
Synopsis: Jimi Hendrix came from the blues. As a young man on the
demanding Chitlin' circuit, Jimi began to explore his roots in the blues. He
became a student of the urban electric blues of Buddy Guy, Muddy
Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and John Lee Hooker; the acoustic Delta blues of
Robert Johnson, Son House, and Charlie Patton; and the blues-influenced
jazz of Charlie Christian and Wes Mongtomery.
As he got deeper into the blues, he began to open up the parameters of
the music and take it further and further out. From the beginning, "Red
House" was his blues-based anthem, which he performed, like a true
bluesman, differently each time. Though there are six Hendrix
performances of the song, astute listeners will note that each is an entirely
unique approach to the twelve bar form. For guitar players and non-playing
music fans alike, we are assembled this collection so they can learn from
the master. As you listen to version after version of "Red House", the
astounding talents of this ultimate blues man will reveal themselves to you.

JIMI HENDRIX - RED HOUSE 7 VERSIONS LIVE J L HOOKER
I've had this in my collection for a while. I used to play electric guitar and
enjoyed reading and learning about playing through guitar instructional
books, sheet music, and anything usual in that section of the music store.
I came across this CD almost 12 years ago. It is highly usual in that it was
published by a sheet music company, so it has no catalog number or UPC
code. However it collects 6 different live versions (official of course) of Jimi
Hendrix playing Red House, including an instudio rendition done by THE
MAN, John Lee Hooker!

Just experimenting with my new Sigma.....
As a kid I used to listen to Jimi Hendrix even when taking a shower. I had mounted a speakerset in the bathroom (my parents didn't mind) and my favorite album was "Live At The Isle Of Wight". This Bob Dylan cover by Jimi is brilliant I think.... Jimi just put something extra in it! All Along The Watchtower
Jimi helped my to free my mind and to meditate, I'm still thankfull for that.
This picture is dedicated to him....
Have a great weekend my friends!
This bronze statue of Seattle native, Jimi Hendrix, is located at Broadway and Pike. If I was better with Photoshop I would have made the background psychadelic purple or something, but as it is that is the beautiful Seattle Central Community College in the background.

The 2nd studio album on the Experience.
The wah-wah-pedal was just invented and Jimi just loves the effect, he uses it- perhaps - too much here.
If 6 was 9 is the peak here. Makes cold shivers every time...
Trivia about the cover: Hendrix wanted something that would refer to his "indian background" (he was half indian = native American), the guys thought that he ment Indian and that's why the Indian influenced painting (there's nothing "Indian" in the music, no sitar, no tablas).
The lyrics were included in a separate sheet. (the only Hendix album with the lyrics)

Sorry flickr chums but I'm going through my guitar obsession phase ! Wishing all my contacts, and friends a wonderful Christmas and a very happy and snappy 2017.
If 6 Was 9 is an incredible song by the Jimi Hendrix Experience from Jimi's second album Axis : Bold as Love.
In the photo are my Fender guitars 'Freedom' (70's reissue Stratocaster) 'Little Wing' (JH signature edition Stratocaster) and 'Angel' my vintage white American Standard Stratocaster. Yup, I love Strats !
This scan comes from a 47 year old print that is still in good condition. I shot this with my first SLR, a Miranda Sensorex, still in occasional use today. I don't remember what type of film I used. Too long ago and I don't have the negatives of this roll any more.
Keep printing to keep film alive! ;)

Jimi Hendrix was a rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. His mainstream career lasted only four years, but he is widely regarded as one of the most influential guitarists in history and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century.
My attempt at designing a cover for Jimi's famous single. No idea who is the author of the female shot. I grabbed a photo from the internet, while looking for a "sexy skin" and used a cropped detail out of it.
I loved his music, and I got to see him live in Milwaukee with my brothers..Amazing performance!!! He was dressed in red and had a red bandana on his head... Nobody could play like him in my book!!!
Had he lived, Jimi Hendrix would have celebrated his 70th birthday today. The legendary musician single-handedly revolutionized the electric guitar during the late 1960s. His incredibly inventive and dexterous playing, mixed with his effects experimentation, charismatic stage persona, and flamboyant style helped make him one of the most revered and influential rock artists of all time.
Jimi only released three studio albums while he was alive, but those records continue to inspire and challenge listeners and musicians to this day. Sadly, he was only 27 when he died from asphyxiation.
Note: I didn't take these photos..I wish I would have been in to photograpy back then!! ; ) Happy 70th Jimi..RIP ♥
I don't remember much about what happened between the end of Jefferson Airplane's set and the start of the music on Sunday afternoon. Wikipedia tells me that Joe Cocker was the first performer, and the whole time I watched him I was wondering if he had cerebral palsy or some other affliction that made him shake like that. I'd never seen a tape or tv show with him performing, so he was all new to me. I guess that Country Joe and the Fish came out next and then Ten Years After. Ten Years After was not high on my list of groups, but it was during their set that some one in front of me turned around and passed me a joint. As I was lifting it to my lips, the wind blew it out. The fellow relit it and handed it to me again. Again, the wind quenched it. I gave it back to him, and that was the closest I came to getting high at Woodstock.
One other memory from Sunday (though it could have been on Saturday). There was this guy who came dancing through our corner of this huge conglommeration of people---he was younger than Mr. Natural, but otherwise just about your archetypal Mr. Natural sort----hippie garb, maybe a poncho, long scraggly hair, beads, sandals, the whole twenty-nine yards. And he had this hippie staff, and it was the Platonic ideal of the hippie staff, like what God might have handed to Moses, with carvings and sayings inscribed, and beads and feathers, just a gee whiz, holy cow, look-at-that staff. And this Mr. Natural fellow was groving to the music, and swaying and dancing---he was really in to it. It didn't take Sherlock Holmes to realize that this fellow was stoned out of his P-pocket. He was probably up there in the three or four tabs of acid category.
And I was watching the Mr. Natural fellow, because he was putting on a good show, and I saw him look at the staff---he held it up and looked at it as though it had offended him, and just as suddenly, he took it and broke it in two over his knee, and then I think he broke it into smaller pieces, and then he beat it on the ground. If acid hadn't had a bad name in my drug pantheon before that, it did, after that episode. I always wondered how that fellow felt when he got straight and realized he had destroyed the staff he once had venerated.
The Band, Johnny Winter, and Blood, Sweat & Tears came out next. Like Creedence Clearwater, The Band stuck pretty closely to their album cuts, and I have no memory of them, or the other groups. I've never been much of a fan of Blood, Sweat & Tears anyway.
When Crosby, Stills, and Nash came out, I don't know if I really knew who or what they were. I certainly was not prepared for the sound they produced. They sat around a microphone, or microphones, with acoustic guitars, and produced that vocal harmony---it was just astounding. Neil Young came out and played some of the songs with them, and I would have to say, musically, that their set was the most memorable for me. When I got back to school and bought their album, and started playing it, I became the butt of my suite mates' humor. One fellow pointed out to me, on numerous occasions, that the chord progression in "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes." was the same as the chord progression in In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, a song that was universally scorned in my circle. Still, it was Crosby, Stills, and Nash that was my major takeaway from Woodstock.
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band came on next, and I have to say I remember nothing about them. Not so Sha-Na-Na. They were another band I'd never heard of, and a kind of East Coast, New York Centric novelty band. But they did a high-energy, super-professional job, and I would say they owned the crowd.
And that left one performer to go. By the time Jimi Hendrix came out, the sun was up on Monday morning, and much of the huge crowd had already gone home. There was no way I was leaving before I saw Jimi Hendrix, however. I had missed the Beatles and the Rollingstones, and I still, even today, have never seen Bob Dylan. Dylan I would like to see---the Rollingstones, not so much.
I started moving down towards the stage. Since much of the Woodstock crowd was from New York City, Long Island, the suburbs, it's possible that they had things to do and places to be. So they left. I honestly believe that there were more sleeping bags, stomped-down and abandoned in the mud, than there were people. Maybe there were thirty thousand people left.
I do remember that Jimi Hendrix had a new band---it was no longer The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and backing him were a bunch of black guys, not two English white guys. There had been a lot of controversy about Hendrix's blackness---blacks thought he was a kind of a betrayal, with his psychedelic focus. I guess I liked the earliier Hendrix better, but it wasn't a big deal.
The only cut I have a vivid memory of was The Star-Spangled Banner, when he made all those noises with the guitar that sounded like bombs and rockets. The connection to Viet Nam was inescapable.
So I saw Hendrix play (and I've heard music that he made at the end of his life that showed some fabulous promise---he's the one who, I think, would have had much amazing music to contribute, had he lived).
I shouldered my pack and started heading out to the highway. As I went along, I asked people where they were headed, and soon enough I had found a ride with a group of people who were driving back to central Pennsylvania. They may have been going to Altoona, as a matter of fact, or somewhere in that vicinity. We drove and drove and drove, and soon it got dark. We came to an interstate highway (probably Interstate 80) and they got on that. The road was under construction. Had they noticed? We're flying along at 60 or 70 or however fast people went in those days, and all of sudden there was a dirt pile in the middle of the highway. We slammed on brakes and sustained no injuries. And then we had to turn around and go back the way we had come ten miles.
At some point late that night we must have gotten to the Pennsylvania town where my ride lived. They let me out at the bus station. I bought a ticket, and soon enough I was on my way back to Ohio, and home.
