There are few people who can claim to have influenced music to the degree that Jimi Hendrix did. Appearing like a bolt out of the blue in the 1960s, his skill with guitar and intense playing style revolutionized the form, and changed music across all areas, not just the field of guitar-playing.
Hendrix was a major figure in the newly emergent counterculture of the 60s, with his growling, distorted riffs providing the soundtrack to the start of a new era. This photo was taken in London on September 16, 1970.
