Jimi - Classic Tee

Hendrix was the first musician to use stereophonic phasing effects in recordings. Holly George-Warren of Rolling Stone wrote: “Hendrix pioneered the use of the instrument as an electronic sound source. Players before him had experimented with feedback and distortion, but Hendrix turned those effects and others into a controlled, fluid vocabulary every bit as personal as the blues with which he began”.

The technology broadened and expanded his creative potential and took his music into uncharted territories.

Rather than working within the usual constraints, that other artists of the time accepted, he explored beyond these and, as a result, redefined his genre.
