    Default Jimi left us 39 years ago

    Been a long time. 39 years ago today, he died. Thanks for all the inspiration you continue to give guitar players around the world.

    Here's one of his master pieces. :

    The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

    I've always loved Machine Gun.
    Of the many great guitarists that have influenced me, there are none that come close to Jimi. While I don't listen to his popular hits anymore, I can't get enough of his blues. He was getting even more into blues before he died, which makes us wonder what treats we'd have to listen to if he was around just a few more years.

    Such a beautiful gift. He played from the soul.

    Only the good die yong:

    "Develop your talent, man, and leave the world something. Records are really gifts from people. To think that an artist would love you enough to share his music with anyone is a beautiful thing."
